Hetzner's dedicated server offerings are great. But their cloud offering seems rather limited.

For that I'd rather look into scaleway (starting at 15 EUR/month for DEV1-M), who offer services like managed kubernetes or S3 compatible object storage. What I like about their pricing is that it's very predictable. For example traffic is free (but bandwidth is limited) and object storage is only billed by size, not by API calls.

(disclaimer: I didn't use scaleway yet, so I don't know if it works reliably in practice)

Used them for a few years and recently started switching everything over to hetzner. Scaleway’s products are fine but their support sucks and was either unresponsive or offering little to no help.

The biggest downside of hetzner is the lack of managed containers. Which means I'm responsible for securing and maintaining the whole server, instead of just my applications.
