I can't recall reading much on how going for 'the cloud' or 'serverless' saved anyone money. On the other hand, I've read my fair share of horror stories about how costs ballooned and going for the old-fashioned server/VPS ended up being much, much cheaper. The main argument in favor of the 'cloud' is that it's easier to manage (and even that is often questioned).
