wasn't etsy the company that was using amazon and shifted back to their own infra because they said cloud is not as cheap as own infra?

    What's the difference between self-hosting and self-hosting on bare metal?

      Self-hosted could mean running on a rented server managed by a vendor (e.g. Rackspace) often marketed as a "private cloud." The servers they're using are individually assigned to that client, the vendor manages the physical, the company manages every other layers. Self-hosted on bare mental usually means the company owns the physical servers, storage arrays, and so on. No renting or leasing. No subscription fee-like service. They may still be renting space in someone else's data center, but it is their hardware. The distinction isn't super important to be honest.
