What complexity are we talking about? If your app needs queues, databases or shared storage, it is because of how you designed it. Now just imagine you’re doing this yourself: install servers, os, software, configure integrations, do patches, upgrades, repair hardware. Would it be any simpler?

The comparison should be this vs. aws rather than this vs. bare metal … but I get your point.

Apps need some kind of persistence state. That requires some thought and annoyances to deal with however you do it. There is no leakproof abstraction. Takes 5s to retrieve the data? Get digging!
