It's odd because businesses used to BUY THEIR OWN FUCKING HARDWARE AND BANDWIDTH up until we started hearing about this "cloud" idiocy, where everyone let's Sundar and that Apple limp-wrist keep their testicles in Silicon Valley's purse.
Cloud really is an advantage there’s no debate. But services like parler should not have been using it. Sadly it seems they were more integrated with it that they initially led on
The point is the elasticity of use. Without elastic demand facilitated by cloud you pay for your maximum load usage at all times, 24/7/365 because you bought your own darn servers and can't just rent them and swap them in and out as needed.
If you have 100,000,000 concurrent users on New Years Eve and only 1,000,000 concurrent users on a typical Friday at 4AM you are still paying for that 100,000,000 capacity at Friday at 4AM if you aren't using a scalable cloud service.
A guess they can't find anyone else to host.
