Since cloudflare is already sponsoring it, I do wonder how much of this type of service can be implemented all on cloudflare. Their stack could be great for tile serving.

"€20/month from Hetzner" is great until you actually need it to be up and working when you need it.
> "€20/month from Hetzner" is great until you actually need it to be up and working when you need it. I managed a few Hetzner cloud instances, and some report perfect uptime for over a year. The ones that don't, I was the root cause. What exactly leads you to make this sort of claim? Do you actually have any data or are you just running your mouth off?

Don't be snarky. Edit out swipes.

Most stuff could run there now.
I understand that my popular service might bring your less popular one to the halt, but please configure it on your end so I know _programmatically_ what its capabilities are.
I host no API without rate-limiting. Additionally, clearly listing usage limits might be a good idea.

IME Hetzner's not unreliable. I don't think you could serve 100k requests per second on a single VPS though. (And with dedicated, you're on the hook for redundancy yourself, same as any dedicated.)
And as soon as you have to do ant business / deal with the german side of the business expect everything to slow down to 2 weeks for response which will still be incorrect.
They are simply not worth the hassle. Go with a competent host.

If you are hitting anything free with more than 10rps (temporarily) you are an taking advantage in my opinion.
Oh wow, TIL there is finally a simple way to actually view OpenStreetMap! Gosh, that's overdue. Glad it's done though!

They’re unreliable as soon as you have to deal with their support who have the technical knowledge of a brick. And as soon as you have to do ant business / deal with the german side of the business expect everything to slow down to 2 weeks for response which will still be incorrect.

Since I never have to, that’s perfect isn’t it? If you need support from Hetzner you are using the wrong host.
