    Not if you needed it for a short time.
    If I need hardware for >5 years I’d buy hardware
    If I need the performance of it for just 1 month, why should I bother acquiring the hardware for multiple thousands?

      I feel like I was misunderstood here. I’m making the same argument you did - it makes little to no sense setting up a VPS yourself if you can just as easily grab your data from the SaaS instance.
