I feel like we see stories like this more and more. Makes you wonder just how durable the revenue of cloud providers are when self hosting on VMs has never been easier and more cost effective.
Then again, nextjs + vercel + gihtub are awfully convenient.
- loloquwowndueo 11mo agoSelf hosting requires a different skill set - full blown sysadmin / SRE vs. “The application starts, just deploy it and the PaaS takes care of load balancing, scaling, healing, observability etc”. I’m not defending cloud-esque paas here (I would totally prefer to manage VMs directly) but it should be recognized that it gives some value depending on what you’re comfortable doing with infrastructure.
- game_the0ry 11mo agoTrue, but with the right web framework, much of this comes out of the box.
