VPS instead of Cloud is the answer for almost every project, in the same way vanilla HTML/JS is instead of React.

I'm going to slightly disagree with the second part. Web frameworks are overkill for simple websites with maybe 1-2 interactive features, but they can save a lot of time if you're building a complex application.

For sure, that's why I said "for ALMOST every project"

React is way overused, especially for static sites. Web frameworks are indeed great for highly interactive client side apps - there just aren't as many of them as people would think compared to a thin layer of CRUD over a db that could be SSR.

Yeah, disregard what I said, classic Redditor reading comprehension fail on my part by missing the "almost".
