    Not there yet is relative. They are missing some of the most complex features and services but for 90% of the applications they have what’s needed.

    Hetzner is great and way cheaper than the big clouds. Managing your own servers is a great skill to develop, and you’ll save tons of money too.

      I love the cost transparency. You will know exactly what the machine is going to cost for a month and will not end up with a surprising bill about logging just because you forgot to uncheck one checkbox.

    I know this is a little off topic, but what’s a good alternative to Backblaze?

    I actually think BB are doing good things, ie with their harddrive reports, etc. But, still, I’d like to consider somewhere more local for my data…

      Back blaze does backups, right?

      For back ups, I use a storage box in hetzner. Dirt cheap and then connect to it using Borg backup. Compresses and encrypts your data

    Most of the providers are targeting web hosting and general fairly constant load. We have bursts load and use queue based scaling in AWS. Does anyone know of any service that can do that?

      I remember OVH being the preeminent server provider back in the early 2000s, before “the cloud” and the big American tech companies took over.

        Still the biggest bare metal server provider in Europe as far as i understand, sadly their cloud offerings are still rather in their infancy
