As a tangent to this, I highly recommend https://bloom.host https://bloom.host for anyone looking for just a few cores worth of Ryzen performance. They’re primarily a gaming server host, but their general-purpose VPS are absolutely stellar, and the support is top-notch. I tested them out after they were recommended on another HN thread, and got a 3x speedup based on a few heavy postgres queries I benchmarked on a $20/mo Digital Ocean instance vs. a $20/mo Bloom instance. Data center Ryzen really knocks it out of the park.
