I've never found cloud anything to beat the speed (and price) of a well placed server.
DO has always been a bit rich for my blood though, and even a low cost hetzner VPS has less cores than I remember seeing at the same price a decade ago. I could be wrong there though I usually use Vultr for their SYD region.

Less cores but probably 5x more performance per core now.
This is more helpful when software doesn't just pin the first 4 available cores at 100% to get things done.
How? If each core is 5x faster then it's done 5x sooner. I can't think of a use case for a cheap vps where 5x faster per core cpus are not helpful.
