These things are now trivial enough that it doesn't make sense to pay 10x the cost of bare metal for a cloud provider to solve them for you unless you have a crazy amount of runway or absolutely no idea what you're doing.

I've been running something on AppEngine for 10 years and it costs me less than $1 a month. Not sure I could find a cheaper VPS. On the other hand, I also manage a Mediawiki install, and a cheap Hetzner VPS works great for this.
