VPS or Cloud: not a philosophy, it's a technical decision

VPS or Cloud: not a philosophy, it's a technical decision.
I had two projects in production at the same time.
One on VPS. One on AWS.
Same person. Completely different decisions. 🤔
The first: predictable traffic, fixed cost, no billing surprises. 💻
The second: workload varied too much for a static server — it needed autoscaling. ☁️
The decision wasn't "which technology is better?"
It was "what does this specific project need?"
VPS when:
→ Traffic is stable and predictable
→ You want full control and a fixed monthly cost
→ You don't need to scale horizontally
AWS when:
→ The workload is variable or unpredictable
→ You need to scale automatically
→ Availability justifies the variable cost
The tool doesn't define the engineer. 🔥
The criterion for choosing it does. 💪
Do you use VPS, cloud, or both? 👇
