Kinda makes you wonder why you need cloud for anything besides remote encrypted backups if you can run all that on 12GB
what about failover story if server dies? PG failover setup is complicated, and cloud infra handles this for you.

(Genuine question) What's your current plan for when your cloud provider goes offline? Do you have a failover story, or it a case of "wait for them to come back online"?

Not every use case requires 100% uptime

Because getting any hardware out of infra-team on premise is utterly miserable, across the board.
That's not the only alternative. Rent your VPS and add in extra volumes for like $10 per 100GB.
Netcup is under-rated but there are also other providers too at lowendbox/lowendtalk and I am interested to try out hetzner too sometime.

And yes, i agree, the PG failover setup (and especially dealing with a failure afterwards, to restore the ex-master is beyond infuriating).
But its not pay 10x the amount, while eating easily 10x performance infuriating :)

Funny thing but netcup has $10 per 1 TB Netcup is under-rated but there are also other providers too at lowendbox/lowendtalk and I am interested to try out hetzner too sometime.
Not counting the fact that Netcup is raided (also Netcup is limited to 8TB on a VPS).
That is like 4.7 Euro /TB. That is like 4$/TB. 6 Euro / TB in a raid 5 setup.
I do not understand why they are not using this new pricing model on their older servers. There the best you can get is like 10 Euro /TB (for the single 15TB U.2).

But realistically, I believe major clouds (google, aws) likely has more robust org and infra for recovery than I can built and maintain.

What are you willing to pay for cloud-native failover? Not every use case requires 100% uptime
Imagine paying $250+/mo for 32GB of RAM and 4 VCPUs. No wonder Amazon is swimming in cash, the markup on this is bonkers.

hetzner doesn't even have specs this low from what i can tell!
