Self-hosting from Turkey or using global cloud?
Server price alone is not total cost. Operations time, backups, security, latency, egress and scaling behavior all matter.
A VPS can look cheaper while shifting patching, backups, monitoring, incidents and capacity planning onto the product team.
Managed cloud reduces operational burden but can introduce variable request, storage and egress costs.
Measure latency from real Turkish networks instead of assuming geography tells the whole story.
Choose based on total cost of ownership: infrastructure spend plus operational time and failure risk.

Field decisions for Turkey-focused SaaS: self-hosting vs cloud, local/global payments, CDN, DNS and real latency.
