    I don’t get why anyone hosts Servers running 24/7 on AWS/GCloud/Azure. The pricing is just outrageous. Everyone else will be cheaper

      To be fair, with a proper autoscaling scheme in place these services should scale down significantly when not in use.

      That being said, a big reason for using AWS/GCP is all the additional services that are available on the platform… If the workload being run isn’t that complicated, the hyperscalers are probably overkill. Even DO or Linode would be a better option under those circumstances.

      Oracle is all fun and games until they lose your instance’s IP or data and don’t give it back because you’re a free tier freeloader.
