Biggest issue isn't even sequential speed but latency. In the cloud all persistent storage is networked and has significantly more latency than direct-attached disks. This is a physical (speed of light) limit, you can't pay your w

How do you configure S3 access control? You need to learn & understand how their IAM works. How do you even point a pretty URL to a lambda? Last time I looked you need to stick an "API gateway" in front (which I'm sure yo

There's however a middle-ground between run your own colocated hardware and cloud. It's called "dedicated" servers and many hosting providers (from budget bottom-of-the-barrel to "contact us" pricing) offer it.

That argument makes sense for PaaS services like the ones you mention. But for bare "cloud" like AWS, I'm not convinced it is saving any effort, it's merely swapping one kind of complexity with another. Every place I&#x2

In the EU, maybe. And even then you will most likely need to beg for an "entitlement" to use it which may have requirements around being a registered business, etc so hobby apps are still excluded.

This is an opportunity for bullshitters (in a "bullshit jobs" sense) to be seen as "doing something" and get pats on the back without significant effort - at least less effort than doing other, actually valuable things.

It collects people's contacts and social graphs, which are then used to influence ad targeting in Meta's other platforms. That's why it insists so badly on having full access to your contacts.
