You can have reliability with physical servers.

When you pay 1/4 for 3X the performance you can duplicate your servers and then be paying 1/2 for 3X the performance.

I find baffling that people forget about how things were done before the cloud.

Hetzner only has one Datacenter/AZ per region. So you either risk a single region failure taking you down, or you lose performance from transferring data to another location.

These physics are exactly the same with AWS et al.

AWS has multiple AZs in a single region. I believe these are closer together and thus have lower latency than the three European Hetzner locations.
