How does that happen? My understanding here is the servers are doing something ephemeral and so... uh, why this isn't on Hetzner SB? I do not know of course whom they are using for hosting but 35 USD gets you a decent quad core 32GB RAM server there which is very hard to beat.

Problem is not server specs, but bandwidth.

Great, Hetzner has unlimited bandwidth (well, 320TB since the port is 1gbps).

If they start using 320TB / month they will quickly enter "Fair Usage Policy" territory. At that rate of bandwidth usage, Hetzner would be taking a massive loss and other clients would probably be impacted.
