Must be using physical servers in that case. It will be a SPOF if anything happens to the servers like getting a 🔥🔥. Managing them can be a little tricky.

GCP had a water leak and fire event and the entire eu-west9 region (entire region not just the zone) was gone.
Do read this very interesting incident report - https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/dS9ps52MUnxQfyDGPfkY
Their workaround? And i quote - "Customers can failover to zones in other regions.".
Now ask around and find out how many of you can actually failover to other region if something like that happened in India?
You will be shocked.

Even the cloud uses physical servers under the hood. The difference is in control over the servers and the costs.
They could have on-premise, baremetal or any other non-cloud config. I'm not sure which one they're using.

Scaling is always challenging and performance impacts till the time infra is boosted up in rush period.
To me, it’s a red flag for dukaan product especially when it’s a consumer product and down period is critical. Many customers might have compliance issues going forward.

yet in performance, dukaan outperforms everyone else in market including the giant shopify (GCP) and had more reliability than pretty much every ecommerce platform. We have handled fair share of massive performance peaks and had no problem with either performance reliability or scale.

Many companies are successfully managing their own on-premise infra to save costs. It's not anything new or rocket science, this is how stuff was before the cloud in the last 15-20 years.
What risks do you see that aren't there on the cloud and meaningful enough to not enjoy the cost savings? Scaling? People have solved for that. Orchestration? Kubernetes works with baremetal and on-premise too. Redundancy is cheaper to ensure. I can name many more.
DHH has done god's work in spreading the gospel of moving back to on-premise. It would be interesting to see where this trend goes.

What’s DHH? Btw moving back is not the trend, cost cutting is. Twitter moved back to onprem, but their reasoning is outlier (EM).
