At 1 EUR/TB, even the instance types that pay for traffic (e.g. the 10GBit dedicated servers) hardly break the bank.

However Hetzner does not have the best peerings, so bandwidth to some locations might be worse than you'd like.

Thats true, and I didn't actually want to suggest using the cheapest server available as a singular node either.

I just wanted to put the given numbers into the scale of the cheapest baremetal servers available on the market, to illustrate that this is not an amount of data you'd have to consider for scaling. Realistically speaking, you'd want to have more then 2 nodes so you don't have to worry about rebooting/updates etc
