Crawlee or APIfy tooling?

I'd like to get started with APIfy but down the line I may end up using my own infra. How hard is it to switch from APIfy's tooling (cli etc) to Crawlee? I understand APIfy is built on top of crawlee, so I imagine it's possible but how much friction/lock-in is there

Its all depends on the way how you implement running, i.e. you can https://docs.apify.com/academy/running-a-web-server at your own server, imho its less possible changes to code, just do not use datasets
