Reviewer scorecard
“4x the compute per dollar compared to AWS. European data centers for GDPR compliance. The best value in cloud computing.”
“The standard for metrics. PromQL is powerful, the ecosystem is massive, and it pairs perfectly with Grafana.”
“Unbeatable pricing if you can manage your own infrastructure. Not for teams that need managed services.”
“Battle-tested at every scale. The pull model and service discovery integration are well-designed.”
“As cloud bills become a board-level concern, Hetzner's value proposition becomes more compelling every quarter.”
“Prometheus + Grafana is the open-source observability stack. Mimir extends it to global scale.”
