On my small business, it never sense to move to the cloud. My service cost $0+electricity to run, forever.

- pixl97 1y agoIf you have the knowledge and time it doesn't make sense. That said it's def not a zero cost setup. You are playing sysadmin which isn't a low paid position in itself. You just amortize the actual cost.
- vachina 1y agoIf you choose the right stack, and plan before you setup, sysadmin becomes easy. I could go months without touching the thing running the application.

- rcxdude 1y agoA full replacement of a physical server every few years is still cheaper than the equivalent in the cloud.
