Which is easier to maintain, cheaper, and more stable: deploying a continuously running service on a self-hosted server or launching an on-demand service in the cloud?

all continuously running services; i don’t like serverless b/c i can’t set up local dev environment 

we do use hasura cloud which manages our graphQL API between clients and DB

everything else we deploy via AWS ECS

What kind of services do you usually deploy on the cloud? Serverless or continuously running services?
