If you don't have scale, you don't need most of the features. Fire up PC, load application. Setup egress port open to internet. Setup application backup on cron job. Done until scale problems arise.
Correct, my point absolutely doesn't apply to someone who is just doing their thing, even maybe 2 orders of magnitude more stuff than their thing.
But when your local IT goon says its going to be 8 months to procure the next set of hard drives for your next order of magnitude, it's a real problem and you have real money to invest in solving it, just not owning a data center money.
