I don't think he used a VPS; I think he just has a bare metal server (Linux). Hetzner has very performant, spacious servers for cheap. Provisioning time is usually less than 2 hours. In my experience using their servers over the last 5 years, they are reliable. And since he's using Docker and CI/CD, he can probably easily move to a new physical server if his died. Hetzner does offer VPS as well, but you pay more for the provisioning speed and the usage-based billing (assuming you run it 24/7). Plus they have much less space and performance compared to the physical servers.
