For teams running their own headless delivery

Who runs your rendering layer?

 Did you choose DIY or did DIY choose you?


Most teams never actually decided, but they're paying for it with engineering hours, outages, audit headaches and risk nobody priced in.


If any of that sounds familiar, it might be time to explore a better way.

DIY works. Until you price it.

Building your own rendering host is the fastest way to get live, and the slowest thing you'll ever stop maintaining. Four costs that never make the business case:

Outcome_Icon_Pink_RGB
The maintenance tax

A week, a month, every month. Patching, dependency upgrades, scaling, monitoring- engineering time that never shows up on an invoice and never stops.

ArrowDown_Icon_Pink_RGB
The security review stall

Months, not weeks. Custom infrastructure proves its posture from scratch at every review. Go-live dates slip while InfoSec asks questions you built no answers for.

Dollar
The key-person risk

Do you only have one resource to go to when a problem arises? Only one SME? If a single resignation can take your delivery platform down, you don't own an asset — you own a liability.

The opportunity cost

Every sprint spent on nursing infrastructure is a sprint not spent shipping product. The real bill isn't the maintenance, it's the roadmap you keep pushing back.

10 questions. An honest answer on build vs. buy.

Have you outgrown DIY? Score your team on capacity, compliance, Microsoft alignment and risk. See instantly whether you match teams that build, teams that buy, or the uncomfortable middle. 

There's a reality where your platform runs itself and your team gets to stop thinking about it.

If not DIY, then what?

A week a month, every month. Patching, dependency upgrades, scaling, monitoring and engineering time that never shows up on an invoice, and never stops. What's the right strategy for you?

Your CMS Choice is also a Hosting Choice

Your rendering host shapes the security, compliance, performance, and control you get from a headless CMS - and not all hosting options are built for enterprise needs.

Self-Hosted Rendering in Azure

Netlify & Vercel vs. managed delivery

End-to-end DevOps automation and orchestration: front-end, backend APIs, monitoring, scaling, performance tuning, security—so your teams can focus on delivering content & experiences.

Is DIY Holding You Back?

DIY Hosts Weren't Built to Scale

Self-managed rendering hosting puts the security, integration, and deployment burden on your team, work that Arc by Dataweavers handles automatically, inside your own Azure tenant.

 The traps you didn't know you built.

 DIY doesn't fail on day one. It fails quietly, one overlooked layer at a time, until something breaks in production. This guide names the six traps and exactly how to fix each one. 

Build the experience. Not the infrastructure.

Arc is the managed delivery layer for headless DXPs, deployed inside your Azure tenant, run by us, owned by you.

✓ One SLA from code to end user with no more infrastructure bottlenecks
 
✓ Compliance inherited, not built so security packs ready before InfoSec asks
 
✓ Counts toward your MACC; Vercel, Netlify and DIY don't
 
✓ Live in weeks so we run it, your team ships
