> it also tends to break down for large projects You also end up spending a lot of time and resources in the later stages of the project trying to work around the problems: hire more people to work on the code base, spend a lot of time investigating optimization strategies, hire a devops team to turn the program into a distributed system with maybe hundreds of instances running on CloudProvider (TM)

  You could even save the costs by buying your own server. I doubt that you can't buy a very decent server hardware for no more than $10000. Some places pay more than that per month to Amazon.
