Does anyone know of a managed postgres service that happens to use Hetzner? I'm running my own PG instances on Hetzner, but getting tired of managing it myself. Going with a 3rd party makes me worried about latency (currently it's like 1-4ms...I'd rather not increase that to 50ms for a service located somewhere else). Haven't found anything by Googling, so was wondering if anyone here works somewhere that does this.

Maybe crunchy data? ( https://www.crunchydata.com/products/crunchy-high-availabili... ) haven't tried it myself, it sounds like a very nice service. Maybe someone here has experience.

I've never used them but asked them once about pricing. For my use case they were really expensive ($1,500/vCPU)

At the same time they removed quite some server options, which fitted in between the current specs. This is not so nice, my upgrade path is interrupted now and I need to order a much bigger and more expensive machine.

They sell pretty much everything they had in the past 10 years in the Server Auction https://www.hetzner.com/sb

This is true, but this is second hand hardware and you can't be sure how used it is. Fair enough, good enough for most cases.

The downside is your neighbours also having unlimited bandwidth. We had to rebuild one Citrix environment to a different (identical) box, because the first was in a network segment with terrible network performance. If you pull a short straw, your box will be sharing bandwidth with a few bittorrent seed boxes or someone’s video CDN node

Dedicated or Cloud?

I've been using Hetzner servers for ~15 years with multiple clients and employers, and always been disappointed with other providers compared to what Hetzner delivers. OVH with their frequent network level outages, the 2021 fire and so on. DigitalOcean with their way too frequent and long lasting maintenance windows. And AWS/GCP/Azure with their obscene pricing, ridiculous SLA and occasional hour-lasting outages. One…

While I like Hetzner a lot and can share your recommendations, I just don't see how it compares to full-blown cloud providers like AWS, GCP or Azure. It's a common misconception to put them at the same level when the offering is completely different. Nobody seriously uses AWS/GCP/Azure to have a couple VMs or dedicated servers alone. If someone can run their full workload in e.g. Hetzner without much hassle then they…

I wonder what percentage of AWS are just EC2 instances that run as a simple VM. I know I’ve never used more than that.

I have been working in the industry since 20 years and i have not a single bad word to loose about Hetzner. Their Service has always been impeccable and their servers just run. I have been running k8s clusters on hetzner for quite some time now and the flexibility for the price is exactly what i expect from a hoster! Now with this addition Hetzner closes another gap that made projects spends thousands more on enterpr…

They had some problems about 10-15 years ago (hardware, network). The fire some time ago wasn’t cool either

Hmmm I think you're right.. the fire was at OVH.. But I recall something in the past 2 or 3 years about dataloss at Hetzner.

Personally I only had some network issues with them.

> Nobody seriously uses AWS/GCP/Azure to have a couple VMs or dedicated servers alone. Hmm, anything that doesn't have insanely huge traffic and requirements does, and in those cases the major cloud vendors are still cheap and easy enough for those use cases. Hetzner seems to fit the "not big enough to get major discounts and support but large enough to have considerable cloud bills" customer and that is fine.

Amazon for example tries to capture these with the Lightsail offering [1] which is a separate product from the typical AWS offering (even though of course it runs on AWS but that doesn't matter in this context). No need to go with "raw" EC2 which would make things more complicated and more expensive if all you want to have is a couple VPS.

I really wish I could get dedicated hardware for somewhere close to that price here in Asia. It seems like Hetzner is the only company in the world offering these kind of prices, right? What's the catch?

The catch is they lack enterprise features. No PCI DSS, not more than 25(?!) Servers per Network etc. Sure you can workaround these limitations, but thats the catch.

For some use-cases the Hetzner server-auction is also great value and I’ve had good experience with them. https://www.hetzner.com/sb For example, I was running some experiments that required lots of RAM. Right now you can get a server with 256GB RAM for €60/month.

Yep, I got 128gb ram and 2x 1tb samsung nvme for 40 a month.
