AL Object ID Ninja: Self-Hosting vs. Hassle-Free (the data tells a curious story)

Fun fact from the past three months of AL Object ID Ninja:

Ninja has handed out object IDs to 9,365 apps.
Out of those, 297 apps were configured to use private endpoints.
But here’s the interesting part:

Only 122 apps were consistently configured correctly for all team members — meaning every team member configured private endpoints in their instance to make sure numbers were actually coming from their private endpoints as intended.

That means:
3.2% of teams chose private endpoints
⚠️ but only 1.3% set them up in a fully reliable way

For everyone else, running a “free” backend isn’t really free — it either means constant discipline to keep things in sync, or the occasional manual conflict cleanup. And that hidden maintenance probably costs more time (and money) than a premium subscription ever will.

If you’d rather choose hassle-free forever, now’s the moment to secure your 35% lifetime super-early-bird discount.

The early-bird window closes November 22.
