> host everything on dedicated servers as it is often more performant and cheaper. It depends on what you are serving and at what scale as well as the opportunity costs of managing it yourself. If I have a developer spending some hours maintaining a server each month, it isn’t cheaper at all. You can also have issues of under or over capacity. Heroku, for example saves us a ton of time we could be using for shipping features rather than maintaining infrastructure. If really depends on the application.
