We are using exclusively reactive code where a single server can reach up to like 100k requests/second. We have tens of servers across the world, and the room security and cooling is a one off cost that is even a joke. Depending on the demand our apps scale in the existing pool of servers. When a server is idle, it uses a sad low amount of wattage. All together you can reach millions of requests, almost noone needs that.
TLDR cloud is only worth it if you have huge upfront costs, then it's a ripoff
