I wonder : is there a reason why you have to go through the complexity
of such a setup, rather than simply use bare metal and get good
performance with simplicity?

For instance, the dedibox I use for my app (visible in sig) costs 14,00
euros/month, and sits at .03% load average with 5 active users; you can
admin it like a home pc.

The main use cases I know of are relatively small instances where the web server and db server for an app may be on the same system.
