AWS is one of most expensive options, and far not perfect, I can’t understand why people consider it as default choice... To compare - dedicated server on hetzner (core i7, 32gb ram, 20tb network) is cheaper than medium VM on AWS. If the product is growing, cloud cost can quickly become the biggest expense for company. Than it will make sense to spend some time make things run in more cost effective way I think if you choose cloud hosting that costs about same as renting dedicated server plus settings virtualization by yourself - than it’s a fair choice (can check on https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/ https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/ or similar) Another sweet configuration is dedicated servers with kubernetes: good user experience for developers, easy to setup and maintain, easy to scale up/down
