For the record, hetzner cloud also has multiple data centers (at least in Europe, haven't checked for US) with sharedand load balancers . What you don't get is managed services like k8s, databases, sqs, lambda/faas. These are generally easy to setup via preconfigured Terraform or ansible scripts, but if something goes wrong, you'll have to look at the logs yourself - that's true. (But that's ignoring that such a small team as you're proposing would likely be better served with a more mundane setup, avoiding all of these extra points of failure you'll have to manage... Making a simple bare metal setup once again the less involved and better performing alternative)
- everfrustrated 2y agoHetzner load balancers don't have any auto scaling feature which is a pretty critical requirement for any load balancer product in 2024.
- ffsm8 2y agoIm pretty sure you're vastly underestimating the amount of performance you get from today's hardware. You won't be a small team by the time you're at a scale to need horizontal scaling. Only the biggest consumer facing/social media sites get value from that.
- whalesalad 2y agoIf you cannot tolerate downtime you need a redundant load balancer and you need nodes in different datacenters. Scale really doesn't matter in this equation. Now maybe you don't need five-nine's so then the risk is worth keeping it simple.
- ffsm8 2y agoBoth of which hetzner has? Did you skip the previous comment entirely?
- whalesalad 2y agoI read it. Historically Hetzner has been popular in the dedicated server space. I cannot speak to their IAAS/cloud offerings, I have never used them. I will take them for a spin, though, seeing as it is really the only way to use their services in the US with good latency.
