It's not because 'there is no state' - you just outsourced state(s) to the third party.

- seanwilson 9y agoI think it's more the case that typical e.g. VPS setups introduce state where you shouldn't have state at all. Web servers for example should typically have minimal state for scalability and robustness but for most VPS setups this is not the case. If the VPS got wiped it could take days of work to get up and running again, and if you wanted to scale horizontally you'll have some reengineering to do. You could try and replicate something like Heroku yourself to minimise state on your web servers but it'll take you a lot of time and won't be as robust.
