whether to leave the cloud isn't ideology. it's five questions, in order:
bill under ~$2k/mo? traffic spiky? someone who WANTS to own infra? egress or steady compute your biggest cost? can you treat a hardware failure as planned, not invisible?
the first "yes" that points back to the cloud wins. i run bare metal because my workload sits on the far side of all five. most don't.
