I use and love Hetzner as well. But you have to go into it eyes open. Concrete example - a month ago I was notified that network infra my systems ran over was going down for maintenance... for me that was a production DB, fairly low usage but still.

for cloud VPS hosting hetzner has been solid for me. their object storage is S3-compatible and way cheaper than AWS.

I m also a happy Hetzner customer (for 4 or 5 years now?), can vouch for their object and box storage, and cloud VPS.

Bandwidth cost is very cheap for AWS and other major cloud vendor, even cheaper than likes of OVH, Hetzner buy at.

Dedicated AMD 32 core RAID 10 servers from Hetzner... Backups are handled by another big Hetzner server — sitting at 60 TB of storage right now.

Hetzner - Servers.

The gray area between these two extremes is where the value lies, and I think that's the author's point: redis on a VPC at Hetzner or DigitalOcean. Billions upon billions of messages processed every month at a fraction of the cost.

Added semantic search on top of this using a local model running on Hetzner.

includes provisioning on Hetzner

Hetzner is pretty decent too actually but I actually think that OVH might be even cheaper while still being competitive.

We Moved from AWS to Hetzner. Cut Costs 89%.

Just renting a machine from a provider like Hetzner and starting from there is the best option by far.

I'm in the process of migrating my company away from MS 365 to Nextcloud on Hetzner, which is going slow but well.

Coolify + Hetzner is a solid combo once you start consolidating services.
