Hetzner has provided a quality service for a long time but now they have no more GPU servers available. That makes it hard to scale. Any other options out there without going bankrupt on AWS?

Have you contacted them to see when they might get them back in stock? It might be a temporary blip in supplies, etc ...

  Yeah write them a ticket. They are really supportive, pretty sure they will come up with something for you. (as did they for us, when we were in a similar bind)

    Already did. They just said, currently out of stock, working on making it available as soon as possible. No ETA provided.

how many do you need? maybe just buy your own?
- etaioinshrdlu 7y ago
  On the order of 5-25. Interestingly, these Hetzner machines are so cheap monthly that it is much easier to buy via hetzner and they provide good networking / data center ops as well. Break even time on cost is on the order of a year.

    Break even? Are you generating digital tokens?

      Why would that follow? He said "on cost", which I read as "comparing the costs of buying a video card and renting GPU time".

        Break even point is used as a term to describe the point your gains are equal to your initial investment, hinting that after this point, you will start making net profit.

        Break even applies to the crossover point between any two options. You can break-even between renting or buying a house at some point even though you are even between two options that cost you money.

      I interpreted that as meaning you'd have to rent one for a year to break even buying the hardware.

  500€ instead of 111€ though

I've used https://www.paperspace.com/ https://www.paperspace.com/ in the past, and they seem reasonable. They're cheaper than AWS but I don't know how they compare to hetzner.

Did they disclose when they will be in stock again? Did you ask?
