Reviewer scorecard
“4x the compute per dollar compared to AWS. European data centers for GDPR compliance. The best value in cloud computing.”
“The lingua franca of infrastructure as code. Provider ecosystem covers every cloud service imaginable.”
“Unbeatable pricing if you can manage your own infrastructure. Not for teams that need managed services.”
“BSL license change was controversial but the tool remains essential. OpenTofu is the hedge if needed.”
“As cloud bills become a board-level concern, Hetzner's value proposition becomes more compelling every quarter.”
“Infrastructure as code is table stakes. Terraform's provider ecosystem is its moat and it keeps growing.”
