I have gone serverless for a Vue frontend app I deliver with Cloudflare Workers Sites and with a DigitalOcean S3 Space serving all images. However I'm still very reluctant to use Google Cloud Computing or any similar Azure/AWS solutions for its backend because it just seems pretty expensive to me.

I can get a vServer with 48 Gb RAM, 10 vCPUs and a 800 SSD with a 1000 Mbit/s connection and unlimited traffic for 20€ a month and run my MariaDB and Redis database on the same machine as my other containers.

Even if the vServer only runs at 25% on average the same performance with GC would cost me 150€ for the CPU, 77€ for the RAM (with free tier already included) and that is still not accounting for the traffic. And I would have to host the MariaDB instance elsewhere (which adds latency). And Google Cloud has very few data centers in Europe so it'd not even be near my main market.

In this case Google Cloud Run (with worse performance) would cost me like 15x more than running a vServer. That's not a price I'm willing to pay to go completely serverless or to avoid downtime at all costs. Or am I missing something?
