We see users running Steampipe on their desktop, in pipelines (e.g. to scan Terraform files) and also as a central service. See "service mode" in the CLI for a Postgres endpoint and a dashboard web server [1] or try docker / kubernetes [2]. We also have a cloud hosted option with dashboard hosting, multi-user support, etc [3].
