The company I work for self hosts our databases. We self host HBase, Elastsicsearch, MySql w/ Vitess, Kafka, and a few other things. Our scale is large enough so it makes a lot more sense to pay for engineers rather than to pay for a service. I work on the Data Infrastructure group and am more than happy to answer any questions about it
