Sure I have. Let me help you by recapping:
1. VPS costs more money. CDN is free for all intents and purposes.
2. VPS has worse availability even when run perfectly.
3. VPS requires more monitoring and maintenance.
4. VPS presents far greater security risk.
u/grebc if money is subjective to you, then you're free to send me some as you objectively won't miss it.
You don’t need to recap your subjective experience, it’s on full display.
