I host my own stuff on a vps that I rent, so I am already a big believer in "owning your platform". But I don't think this is always the wisest point.
My projects are rather small, and I plan to build a real business I might take care and actually use a managed platform just to not face hurdles in the beginning.
If the service succeeds and I can finance my time I would happily own my own platform. But stuff like databases is nice to have managed sometimes if you want to be able to go on vacation without worries.
