Yeah, think about it and see if it can help you one way or another.
Read up on the subjects of cloud and microservices.
It's complex stuff and you can really shoot yourself in the foot with it.
The ROI is different in each situation, so I can't help there.
If not now, maybe later or on your next project 
For my smaller customers, the cloud really has some added benefits.
These guys barely know how to start a computer and quite frankly, they don't want to.
They don't have on-premises hardware, but for about €50 a month I can host their web application, including database.
They don't need to buy hardware and they have zero maintenance

Hey, no worries, thanks!
Ho, that kind of customer. Interesting... Didn't think of such scenario. But I can see how it should work relatively smoothly..

I did something similar for a website, which used various kinds of emails to process different types of orders for customers. I set up a service to accept an email request from a message queue, where each request contained the type of email and a set of data. It simply plugged the data into the approriate email template and sent it off.
The website now only needs to submit the data annd email type to the message queue, then return to the user immediately letting them know an email will be sent.
Lots of advantages:
- it takes a bit of time to generate the email and then send via email server. The website is not held up with this processing.
- Easy to update the email templates, maintain a common look and feel, etc. without any need to change anything in the website. In fact you could shut down the email service for upgrades, etc. with no email loss.
- If there is a disruption in sending the email, easy to resubmit to queue and process again, without loss of the email. For example if a mail server goes down. I even had this set up so that if there is repeated failures in sending because email server was down, I would go into sleep mode, with a periodic test to see if email server was restored.
Offloading emailing like this made sending emails from the web site much easier, with guaranteed delivery.

I've had a similar scenario, works like a charm!

This particular customer didn't need this. But if the user account indicated that they had a language preference and method of contact, it would be easy to add this. For example if the language was set to French, and the method of contact was SMS, would be a very simple extension in the data added to the message sent, and it could then be routed to the appropriate service (SMS vs. Email) with a specific language template. Very little change in the Web App, but with a large expansion of functionality.

How do I send a private email to a codeproject member

Look at the bottom of a message posted by them - if it has an "Email" option next to "Reply" then click that. If it doesn't, then the member has specifically refused permission for any private messages.
Be aware that it will not reveal the other members email to you, but will reveal yours to them so they can reply.

IF the user has it activated allowing it, then just search a message by him in a forum (doesn't matter which) and look at "reply", there should be a "email" widget just right of it.
If not... then you can't
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I received the "dreaded" not-availabile message for a while. Then I didn't.
Correlating it with anything other than getting my data from SSA (one of the reasons it may be in limbo) is silly. This because I always owe IRS money (they're not a savings bank) so they don't have a direct deposit account. SSA does.
However - they didn't transfer the info: I had to enter it after proving I'm me to their satisfaction. Not really dumb: what if I wanted to target a different account?
I doubt the caps did anything beyond make the user feel better about shouting.

Screw it! Make it fully political!  I listened to a gal go off about sovereign citizenship a few months ago, and according to her ALL CAPITALIZATION on your name means that you have been legally branded a slave because of the legal term capitis deminutio maxima, which they take to mean something like 'capitalization diminishes your rights to the maximum'. Of course, they are full of crap[^], (also because it means something more like 'maximum diminished capacity') but it was interesting to listen to.

It cracks me up that it took social distancing for neighbors to become social. Where I live I see neighbors interacting that never did before and I see lots of people out for walks that I've never seen before.

Two words: "Reverse psychology"

What exactly is reverse psychology? Is that like reverse geology, or reverse astrophysics?

And it took social distancing for some to leave me alone and keep there distance, ah the peace!
