But why?

Let's say I launch a simple text-only webforum with an estimated 100.000 requests per day total. Or lets say a "where-is-the-nearest-ATM" app for an AR device, which would have a similarly low load.

What would even be the point to run that on big iron in a warehouse somewhere, using a frameworks and infrastructure designed and built to accomodate the next facebook, when I can spin it up with no problem in an on - premise box with code written over a long weekend?
