They also move too slowly, so they fall further and further behind each year.
For example, Hetzner has great potential, but they’re only just now releasing object storage after 4 years in the cloud space, and they don’t even have managed database yet.

- dijit 2y ago"4 years in the cloud space" Hetzner has existed for a really long time, I'm not even sure what "cloud" means in your context. Object storage and VMs is what made AWS "cloud" 15 years ago, so by that definition Hetzner only just became a cloud provider.
- scarab92 2y agoI mean since they started marketing themselves as a cloud vendor and selling cloud instances, instead of just a dedicated server vendor.
- dijit 2y ago"cloud instances"; like a VPS?
- scarab92 2y agoYes, they are VPSs But the more important point was that they started branding themselves as a cloud vendor 4 years ago, and investing in new offerings around that pitch, but it’s taking them far too long to release basic parts of the offering, and they’re falling behind.
