   @lightweight It seems that self-hosting is cheaper than any VPS for any substantial amount of CPUs or storage or RAM for periods more than a few months.
   
   I reckon a cheap SBC, comparable to a 1CPU $5/month VPS is probably cheaper than such VPS too after 6 months.

     Interesting to see this: https://talkpython.fm/blog/posts/we-have-moved-to-hetzner/ Like us, others are finding that Hetzner.com offers the best commodity cloud services value. We cut our cloud hosting costs by ~95% by dropping AWS & MS Azure and switching to Hetzner. If you think: "but we depend on specific services we can't get on Hetzner!" offered AWS or MS Azure, then you, my friend, are fully locked in. I'd be questioning the governance of your organisation.
