Iops on GitHub runners is also terrible slow, you easily get a 5x to 10x improvement

We did the same, and set up GitHub actions runners on hetzner

Halfed the integration test time and made them more reliable.

I've heard CI/CD in general and GitHub Actions specifically is where old cloud hardware goes until it dies.

Just a catch with Hetzner vs AWS: pricing at AWS is per-second while Hetzner is per-hour, which is (very) inconvenient if you're launching ephemeral runners.

while thats true.. i am using TestFlows-GitHub-Hetzner-Runners, which recycles runner for the 1 hour lifetime, works like a charm so far

also main reason for switching was performance, not cost for us.
