If taking requests... showing memory charts along with the usual CPU, network bandwidth plots woudl be very helpful. :)
This is certainly interesting. I've been using DO for something like 8 years and I really like them. I don't plan to switch but Hetzner offers a CPU optimized server with 4 CPU cores and 8 GB of memory for $17 USD / month. DigitalOcean offers the same thing for $56 USD / month. It's hard to ignore how much of a difference that is. Even the smaller'ish instances have a huge difference. Hetzner has a 2 CPU core 4 GB of…
The price increase of Digital Ocean is what prompted us to evaluate different US Cloud providers in which we found Hetzner offering by far the best value [1], what's even nicer was that the prices for the instances ended up being ~25% cheaper than what they're advertising, e.g. their 4x vCPU / 8GB RAM / 160GB HDD is advertised at €17.27 but when creating instances of them in their cloud console it only ends up costin…

I'm working on this -- it will be a while till I get on Postgres (I really hope that's the managed DB you want), but I'd love to get you on the postgres beta list.
<3 Yes it's Postgres, email should be in the profile, would love to participate.
Postgres (and later some exciting flavors like Neon) is actually the only database I plan to support, at least for right now -- MySQL and MongoDB are not even on the roadmap really.
I might make an exception for RethinkDB since I loved it so dearly.
We're a long time Hetzner dedicated server customer currently transitioning from their dedicated servers in Germany to their US Cloud product (for reduced latency) which we can highly recommend as it was the best US Cloud provider we've found that works out to be an order of magnitude less expensive than equivalent specs on Azure/AWS and also includes 20TB free bandwidth that would cost a fortune in AWS/Azure's artif…
> The new location at Hillsboro will host Hetzner Cloud servers mounted with AMD processors A kind of interesting statement, given that Intel has a large presence in Hillsboro (>15K employees IIRC). Not that this would matter to Hetzner, but still curious.

Please do a managed Kubernetes next. I couldn't convince any of our customers to switch to Hetzner because they'd need to do "everything themselves". A managed Kubernetes instance would instantly make Hetzner an alternative for at least 75% of our customers. And honestly it's quite a cheap way to earn a bonus on your server instances. Edit: And if you do manged Kubernetes and managed Kafka Instances the number would…
> Please do a managed Kubernetes next. If we're taking requests, I would love a Fargate-like service. It would be absolutely fantastic if Hetzner provided a service where users uploaded a Docker image, and Hetzner took care of handling the networking bits and running it, and gather metrics.
They have extremely impressive prices, but I've always been hesitant to use them for anything important because they've historically been known for very aggressively shutting down your service if their automated systems detect e.g. suspicious traffic. The most recent and egregious example would be banning users who run cryptocurrency-related nodes, even if not mining, despite only mining and similar activities being…
But preventing me from running a normal bitcoin node on my server, which writes 400GB once and is done makes me left confused.
Does anyone have some experience regarding the bandwidth between Hetzner's old US location, Virginia, and the big cloud providers (AWS/GCP/Azure)? My use case requires lots of ingress into these clouds. I am currently using Cloudflare's R2 object storage but I'm not satisfied with the bandwidth as it fluctuates between 40 MB/s and 200 MB/s when loading to AWS.
Last time I checked through Vultr[0] from South America, Ashburn was significantly faster than Digital Ocean in SFO. Though, not sure if this helps you.
Also another very, very happy Hetzner user - we've migrated all of our servers to Hetzner over the last year and couldn't be happier with the service. Along with Wasabi cloud for object storage, the set up has allowed me to run a very large infrastructure at a fraction of the cost it would have been elsewhere.
