What happens when the power goes out? Internet goes out? Someone spills a cup of coffee on the server? Landlord needs to do some work and drywall dust flies around everywhere?
It's not that most CRUD apps could run on a single machine, it's that they probably shouldn't. Customers want redundancy, automated failover, etc. Datacenters are much better at offering these things than your office park.

- steponlego 4y agoYou can do automated failover to Raspberry Pi, it'll hold while the main server is cared for. If you go cloud, you deserve what you get. And what you get is what you get, because it's not your computer, and it's not your data.
