    I hear you. Personally I never understood the appeal of costly hosting at AWS and such. It just always seemed so expensive. The only benefit it provided, imho, is when you legitimately need to scale very quickly or if you’ve got a really huge variance in load.

    Everything else? My own servers please, and thank you for reading 😁

      What I read so far:
      The dynamic scaling is what makes it worth it.
      Many of the traditional hosting offerings just give you a monolithic VPS/dedicated hardware.
      But if you want to up/downscale depending on peak demand during lunch hour it get’s complicated.
