I will look for it but there was an article like 5+ years ago that had a thesis on the break-even point for cloud and when it makes sense to start to host your OWN actual infrastructure and that it was so much further out than you expect that it's not worth it.
I liked that article though, I'll see if I can dig up.
For me, it's just so dang easy to use the cloud, the speed/pace of development is totally worth it for a very very long time.
