The Cloud is Over-engineered, Over-priced (and Over-rated?) (youtu.be)

For most personal projects, hosting on the cloud may be overkill, but tempting with its supposed ease of use and benefits of scale. Self-hosting is often overlooked as a solution with the benefit of simplicity and cost.

Interesting discussion and demonstration of self hosting the kinds of apps most personal projects will end being.

Is it over-engineered for you? Absolutely. For enterprise level applications that must ensure 100% up-time and have complex requirements? No

Exactly. That's the whole point of view of the video; for hobbyists and their personal projects, it is likely overkill.
