Data ownership
A client was paying over $300/month on a managed customer communication SaaS (Respond.io). They wanted to cut the recurring cost, own their data, and have full control over configuration — without disrupting the live customer conversations already running.
Self-hosting Chatwoot isn't just a docker run. Production means getting SSL, reverse proxy, persistent storage, and webhook integrations working together reliably before you migrate a single conversation. We planned the migration carefully so the client's support team never experienced downtime.
Planned and executed a full Docker-based Chatwoot deployment on a VPS — Nginx reverse proxy, SSL via Let's Encrypt, PostgreSQL, and Redis. Diagnosed and resolved HTTP 422 CSRF errors in the live production environment. Integrated Chatwoot webhooks with the client's existing Rails backend for bi-directional message sync. Configured WhatsApp Business (via 360dialog), email inbox, and web widget channels.
