Didn't expect to see this on the front page!
Basically, I'm working on building the kind of company that I've always wanted to: simple technology (not k8s!) to do cool things (ingest tons of data into a database.) I can run the software on a single server, but my customers didn't want downtime when I deployed (who would've thought?) so I implemented a rolling deploy.
I've recently started hosting on Hetzner (ran out of AWS credits!) and have found the experience to be pretty good, and by far the best value of compute per dollar. If you don't want anything in the container world - I worked at huge companies that IPOed without containers - then consider their server offerings.
- dig1 3y agoYou can use HAProxy on a cheap shared Hetzner server (2GB or RAM will be plenty for it) as an alternative for Hetzner LB. It will give you more flexibility and dynamic scaling [1] without downtime (plus it has very good management API through socat). Even if you use a hard hacks, like updating the HAPproxy config through Ansible and reloading it, HAProxy will not terminate running connections but redirect requests to live backends.

- memset 3y agoI am running my own Clickhouse server on Hetzner, yes. That is the product I'm offering: managed OLAP with a better developer experience on top.
