There are things that public cloud is great for. Cost efficiency at high performance is not it. For Gitpod, performance is critical to their product offering, because any latency in a dev environment is terrible UX.

Example: What performance do you get out of your NVMe disks? Because these days you can build storage that delivers 100-200 GB/s.

I bet few public cloud customers are seeing that kind of performance.

This is also my personal experience. I am finding that building out our own high-performance cluster of (second-hand) servers is orders of magnitude cheaper than having the same on GCP, even though we have to maintain/configure everything ourselves.
