If you scale up, you wish you didnt do the failure of running an own "cost- and performance efficient" solution.
We did the same failure for many years.
If you scale up, normally you did not have time to look for better solutions, because you need your time for your product and customers and not for your server.
The problem is that you then loose customers or slow down the growth and that cost more then some bucks for a better cloud solution (and yes, cloud cost more).
