If you're running a small setup and don't need any value add products or multi-AZ/multi-region this might work, but Hetzner and major cloud providers are by no means comparable.

Hetzner offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee only on their network. AWS has SLAs for every product offering - EC2 for example starts paying out credits if they fall below 99.99% uptime.

If you're a user of various managed cloud products, these will cost quite a bit to replicate on Hetzner and you'll be spending money on personnel to build these out and maintain them instead of just paying for the cloud product on AWS/GCP/Azure.



Managed is good, but opensource is decent these days.

You need postgres? Use crunchydata postgres operator or cloudnativepg. Need multiple regions? setup wireguard.

IT's more work, but might not be a lot of work.
