Happy for you, don't get me wrong, but your post is not particularly news, I'm guessing everyone on HN knows bare metal/VPS providers are cheaper than AWS/Azure/GCP.
And also lacking a bit in details:
- both technical (e.g. how are you dealing with upgrades or multi-data center fallback for your postgresql), and
- especially business, e.g. what's the total cost analysis including the supplemental labor cost to set this up but mostly to maintain it.
Maybe if you shared your scripts and your full cost analysis, that would be quite interesting.
