> PaaS is always going to offer less for the same price, but what surprised me was how start the difference can be. On Render.com, a 4GB RAM and 2vCPU service costs $85/mo. The same spec costs $14/mo on Scaleway (ARM).
I notice a trend that the people who scoff at hardware specs are usually the same ones standing in line for 2 cores and 4gb of RAM for $50+/month. They'll laugh when you suggest utilizing an obsolete $50 computer with a decade old CPU (that's just sitting in a closet), but more than willing to spend $50/month on similar performing hardware from a Cloud vendor.
