- taneq 3y agoThose economies are for the cloud provider, not you. The cost to you is set at just less than their best guess at what you think self-hosting will cost you. Cloud hosting only makes sense in a case that your capacity needs are changing rapidly and unpredictably, or the case where you’re so big that the cloud hosting company is effectively a department. Any other time it will almost certainly be cheaper to self host.
