On the other hand, for some serverless services, it makes sense to use AWS instead of self-hosting. I've deployed multiple Lambda for many years and I have yet to pay anything for them given how _generous_ their free tier is. Nowadays I must be at around ~100 Lambda executions per day and my billing for Lambda is still $0/month. To achieve something similar with self-hosting it would require me to have a server running 24/7 just to allow my code running when needed. So, almost as with everything else in tech (and life in general), the idea is to not see AWS or self-hosting as the best tools for everything. Sometimes AWS is better, sometimes self-hosting is. Having the freedom to pick the best one in each situation is quite nice!
