150 TB/month of data transfer on AWS will cost you 15k/ month the same thing on dedicated provider will be 500/month. And so on.

That's about the fully loaded cost of one engineer, and you may easily need multiple additional people to run your own hardware instead of using AWS.

That's fairly modest traffic and does not include cost difference for the compute and persistence layers. In case of GitLab their dev and ops office is in Ukraine so that difference on traffic cost alone would pay for 3 good ops people.
