I'll be sure to take a look, but we're really depending on the "high-spec" part as well as the "low RTT" part. IIRC Hetzner's cloud offerings only go up to 48vCPU+192GB memory+1TB disk, all of which are well below our needs. We're currently using these at OVH: https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-ca/bare-metal/high-grade/hgr-hci-6/ https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-ca/bare-metal/high-grade/hgr-hci... — and we really need the cores, the memory, the bandwidth, and the huge gobs of direct-attached NVMe. (We do highly-concurrent realtime analytics; these machines run DBs that each host thousands of concurrent multi-second OLAP queries against multi-TB datasets, with basically zero temporal locality between queries. It'd actually be a perfect use-case for a huge honking NUMA mainframe with "IO accelerator" cards, but there isn't an efficient market for mainframes—so they're not actually price-optimal here compared to a bunch of replicated DB shards running on commodity hardware.)
