> they just cost money - some businesses choose not to spend that money, some weight cost-benefit and go for AWS, some weigh cost benefit and decide to go for in house, some go for hosted Virtual Servers, some go for Serverless. I'd also say some choose not to spend the money, but fail to consider the cost of that choice. For example: Doing old-school manual deployments that require herculean efforts to update at off-hours on the weekends burns people out, and makes it hard to attract new talent. In other words, you've made the decision to spend more money on finding and retaining people. But it's definitely way cheaper to pay for colocating a single Dell server you bought 3 years ago than what you'd spend in the same time on AWS. And if your hardware never dies, paying for the redundancy might seem silly. A lot like paying for fire insurance despite the fact your house has never even burned down.
