What Cloud Services Do
Companies don’t use cloud services based on the levels of traffic but based on the ease of using cloud services. The amount of traffic doesn’t matter, it is you who decides whether or not to use cloud services. Do you really want to go through the struggle of building a server room for your application with regular maintenance or just use a cloud service. But the advantage of using cloud services is elastic scaling which means you can add and remove servers based on your needs, in you case based on traffic.
The major benefits of using cloud services are elastic scaling, no restrictions on backend technology stack ( I’ve noticed some web hosting companies have restrictions) and you can see what’s going on in your server as you’ll have access to it and you can debug in case if there is a problem.
Basically using cloud services is like building a server farm without worrying about the hardware maintenance.
