In house testing for cloud vs self hosted before self hosted release

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am looking to test integration with keycloak, and other features that require a higher tier license.

Cloud licenses are cheaper.

Can I get away with testing/developing on a cloud server and applying my findings to the self hosted release?
Aside from sizing differences what changes would a cloud based system for integration development? What issues might I run into doing this?

Should I take the cloud approach to keep costs down, or just buy licenses for self hosted servers for development?

For dev, you can always activate a trial. It will work for 30 days.
Then you can remove the data dir or create a new cluster.
