How do people think that's the only two options (AWS/cloud or build a datacenter)? It astounds me.
There's _so_ many providers of 'bare metal' dedicated servers - Hetzner and OVH come up a lot, but _before_ AWS there was ev1servers (anyone remember them?).
Because, a lot of money went into cloud marketing to convince us those are the only two options.
Tech is for all intents and purposes a planed economy (we are in the middle of the LLM five year plan comrade).
