Not everyone can afford a crack ops team. Not enough crack ops people exist to go around even if they could. "The Cloud" lets us do WAY better on reliability

"The Cloud" lets us do WAY better on reliability and a little cheaper on cost than we could with our own bare metal servers.
I do wish I could drop a Samsung PRO 960 in our database VM though :(

You'll get "regular" SSDs in their VPSs, but you can get mirrored NVMe SSDs in their bare metal servers [1]. Nothing but great experiences with them. They have APIs to let you automate provisioning of the bare-metal servers if you want to tie it into a larger cloud deployment [1] https://www.hetzner.de/us/hosting/produkte_rootserver/px61nvme https://www.hetzner.de/us/hosting/produkte_rootserver/px61nv...
