True. Although more often than not it's the opposite in my experience. Large organizations can afford to spend the money on GCP/aws/Azure and deploy thousands of services. They can also afford the money to hire infrastructure engineers to maintain such services. Also, in large companies everything needs to be implemented "the same way", so no matter if you want to deploy a tiny service or a huge one, you must do it the same way other services in the company are deployed. Whereas when you are a one-man business, all you have is (free) time and prefer to spend as little money as possible while your business is not profitable. This means: walk away from dedicated databases, managed servers, huge aws bills, etc. You do everything "the old" way: rent a server (bare metal or cloud) and maintain it yourself.
