The fact that HN seems to think this is "FUD" is absolutely wild. You just talked about (some of) the tradeoffs involved in running all this stuff yourself. Obviously for some people it'll be worth and for others not, but absolutely amazing that there are people who don't even seem to accept that those tradoffs exist!

I assume you reference my comment.

The reason I think parent comment is FUD isn't because I don't acknowledge tradeoffs (they are very real).

It's because parent comment implies that people behind "reclaim the stack" didn't account for the monitoring, people's cost etc.

Obviously any reasonable person making that decision includes it into calculation. Obviously nobody sane throws entire monitoring out of the window for savings.

Accounting for all of these it can be still viable and significantly cheaper to run own infra. Especially if you operate outside of the US and you're able to eat an initial investment.

Not your comment specifically, you're one of many saying FUD.

Honestly if you accept that the comment was talking about real tradeoffs then I'm a bit baffled that you though it was FUD. It seems like an important thing to be talking about when there's a post advocating moving away from PaaS and doing it all yourself. It's great if you already knew all about all that and didn't need to discuss it, but just stare into the abyss of the other comments and you'll see that others very much don't understand those tradeoffs at all.
