Seems you were waiting for the question?

The main and most important different is managed vs none.
Meaning when you're using Appwrite in cloud version you have a worrying-free experience.
No need to take care of:
- Databases including Redis and InfluxDB
- SMTP
- SMS
- etc.
But those are not the real advantage of using the cloud. the real advantage is that you'll never need to worry about the infrastrcture of the project.
You'll never need to scale-up, down, backup and even understand how all of these logic is working - is best to know for your own, but not for your products.
So the main different would be:
- Self-hosted Appwrite you'll need to plan, write your code and take care of all the DevOps in your production server.
- Appwrite Cloud, you need just to plan and write the code, all the rest will be take care by Appwrite for you.

ok, that means I may still be needing to use appwrite cloud in future since it's fully managed by the team.
but will database be migratable later

From what I read it will be easy to migrate to the cloud from a self-hosted one.
