We’re just going to end up with everyone moving from Amazon to Hetzner and the same issue will remain. High prices, lockin, etc will appear.
We need an American “get off American big tech” movement.
Differentiate people! Reading “we moved from X to Y” does not mean everyone move from X to Y, it means start considering the Y values and research other Y’s around you.

- righthand 1y agoNice, if you write an article about it, try to leave the focus off of a single hosting provider. Encouraging the differentiation is important too (next time! I’m not dogging the movement or your efforts in this article, I love to see reduced reliance of Amazon in general).

- Lapel2742 1y ago> Hetzner is German? Yes. Hetzner is a German company from Gunzenhausen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hetzner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hetzner
- k4rnaj1k 1y agoPretty sure hetzner is still a lot less in terms of provided features. There are reasons people get "amazon certified". So, aws alternatives are few and require a lot more resources to create and maintain, while alternatives to hetzner would be a lot easier to create, keeping original Hetzner prices in-check with the market.
