Bare metal from the likes of Hetzner for most things. Serverless for some small components which benefit from global distribution.

I currently have ~30 containers running on a Hetzner server w/ 64GB of RAM and 16 dedicated cores for ~$25/mo. I even get direct access to the Intel iGPU for graphics acceleration at no additional cost.

Cloud providers like AWS give you a couple orders of magnitude less resources for the same dollars. Too many engineers are getting fleeced into using crappy solutions (VPS's, almost anything by AWS/Azure/GCloud/Digital Ocean) because they're all they've ever known.

Found the same thing when was comparing AWS/Azure to fixed prices providers. When I then looked into it further I found AWS/Azure provided “recommendations” when you selected “production” workloads which was grossly overpriced.

Hetzner Cloud I found is a good balance between price and convenience.

SSH + Docker compose makes for a simple deployment process.

Ubuntu 22.04 ships with support for microk8s.

This means it's trivial to setup a kubernetes cluster with Hetzner+Ubuntu.

How did you get such a cheap machine? The cheapest root server right now is about 45, the cheapest server auction is 35.

Any idea what the Hetzner equivalent in the US would be?

I don't think there's an equivalent in the US but I've used OVH in their Canadian datacenters.

That would be Hetzner.

If I could get a dedicated server for that price in Australia I would be using that instead of a VPS for sure. Sadly I don't think that exists.

Check server auctions. You can buy out someone else's lease. Pricing and availability depends on supply and demand.

I used to pay $45 for the same specs, until I found this offer and migrated.
