We did go that route as well in past but costs were insane, experienced talent hard to find and doesn't come cheap. Cloud has talent working in the background on AWS's payroll, they've better ability too hire at scale than what we can do. So decided to use them, no we don't regret. It's a more reliable cost then hiring and managing a team which might prove to be less reliable.
