> so much from your macbook

At least on cloud I can actually have hundreds of GiBs of RAM. If I want this on my Macbook it's even more expensive than my cloud bill.

Strangely I've found inverse to be true: many backend technologies are actually quite good with memory management and often require as little as a few GiB of RAM or even less to serve production traffic. Often a single IDE consumes more RAM than a production Go binary that serves thousands of requests per second for example
You can, but if you need it you’re not searching for a product market fit anymore.
