> abandon the entire cloud

I was never on cloud. I have a big home with fiber connection and some backup connectivity. Setting up new server is like $50/year in electricity. If project works I will sell it, and let new owner deal with cloud and scaling it up!

Just reading price list from cloud providers gives me a headache. We will charge you between X and Z, and hopefully you will not bankrupt on next bill. Also we may terminate services anytime for whatever reason.

> unicorn machine

If you have a specialized startup, that is 90% of your cost! Not some sort of unicorn single machine. If you can use consumer grade hardware without extra cost, that is major competitive advantage!

> VPNs and hybrid architectures

What is that? Do I have to study that? Seems like a major obstacle!
