What you give up vs Confluence
- Static build; no CMS-style in-browser editing for non-developers
- Versioning system adds complexity for teams not already using Git workflows
- No built-in search without configuring Algolia DocSearch or a local plugin
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Docusaurus on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Confluence: per-user fees and Atlassian lock-in).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (MIT).
