alt Hacker NewsI see anything that reduces the relience on vendor lock-in I upvote. Hopefully cloud services see mass exodus so they have to have reasonable pricing that actually reflects their costs instead of charging more than free for basic services like NAT.
Cloud services are actually really nice and convenient if you were to ignore the eye watering cost versus DIY.

I'm worrying that the increasing ram prices will drive more people away from local and more to cloud services because if the big companies are buying up all the resources it might not be feasible to self host in a few years

How is the cost of NAT free?

I don't doubt clouds are expensive, but in many countries it'd cost more to DIY for a proper business. Running a service isn't just running the install command. Having a team to maintain and monitor services is already expensive.
Probably worth pointing out that the Cloudflare Workers runtime is already open source: https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd
