What’s the difference between Camunda 8 SaaS and Self-Managed?

The difference between Camunda 8 SaaS and Self-Managed is that Self-Managed runs on your computer or your infrastructure, and SaaS is managed by Camunda. You can try SaaS for free for 30 days or run Camunda on your system indefinitely. Note: You need a license if you want to use Camunda for production.

How do I install Camunda 8 locally for evaluation?
