Hetzner

Hetzner is a great mid-tier cloud host. Pricing is transparent (unlike some competitors), performance is consistent, and the managed database options are mature. The networking setup can be confusing initially.

Migrated our entire stack to Hetzner a year ago. Performance improvements were immediate — latency dropped 40%. The auto-scaling handled Black Friday traffic without any manual intervention.

Hetzner's developer experience is top class. The CLI tools, documentation, and console UI are all well-designed. Deploying new services is fast and the monitoring built-in is genuinely useful.

Hetzner has gotten better but support response times have increased since they scaled up. The infrastructure is solid but configuration documentation is lacking for complex setups.
