10 big dedicated servers can probably handle the same load as 100s to 1000s of cloud nodes for a fraction of the cost. Configuration and general complexity might even be simpler without the cloud.
It's not as hard as people make it out to be to set up backup and redundancy/failover.
- dx034 5y agoAbsolutely. And dedicated servers at many providers (e.g. Hetzner, OVH) can be provisioned much like vms. So the only real difference is that usually there's a minimum contract of 1 month, but often at a price where it's cheaper than running a VM at a cloud provider for 30% of the time.
