For people looking for alternatives, what are some suggestions? Is MRSK with Hetzner good?

AWS is way too expensive and complex nowadays. I can’t stand the amount of terminology they invented just to deploy a website and database.

you can get away with DigitalOcean, Linode, scaleway, etc for raw compute and you can indeed use MRSK if you're using rails.

I'm using mrsk + DO instances (DB is running on managed instance within DO) on my side project, which is Django.

I'm very happy about everything. No complexity, easy to deploy and setup.

How do you compare DO to Hetzner?

I've picked up DO just because they have managed database instances.

If hetzner had this, I would have picked them instead.

Fly.io Postgres cluster down for 3 days, no word from them about it
