IaaS, PaaS or SaaS? We'll tell you plainly what pays off at your scale
Choosing infrastructure shouldn't start with technology, but with scale, risk and budget. For one company a VPS with backup is best, for another Kubernetes, and for a third a ready SaaS or a managed self-hosted app.
IaaS
What you buy
servers, network, backup, administration
When it makes sense
simple apps, more control, lower cost

PaaS
What you buy
an application environment with services
When it makes sense
SaaS, API, worker, e-commerce, microservices
When it doesn't
when the app is very simple
SaaS / self-hosted
What you buy
a specific app under management
When it makes sense
GitLab, Sentry, Zabbix, OpenSearch, company tools

when the license or SaaS cost is unfavourable
