What's the cost of something like this? IMO this looks a bit too complex and time consuming to manage.
Why not something like Heroku?

Heroku at that spec really starts to hit the wallet.
More than engouh for a lot of applications. Hell, I ran a E-commerce company with 20MM USD/year in sales on a dedicated server from 2005-2013.
Most things are plain vanilla and rock stable. I can go from new server to running my first services is less than an hour. Ansible or cloud-init go a long way to turning my pets into cattle, so to speak.
I spend nearly no time "managing it" -- I have grafana dashboards and Hetzner monitoring the critical things.
Happy to share more.
I see Hetzner mentioned often due to their great value, but given their EU location I’d imagine the latency isn’t ideal. I’m curious what your experience is.
When I’m looking for a cheap dedi box I use OVH or one of their related companies since they have Canada DCs which are closer.
Obviously if you are in the EU, Hetzner and scaleway are a great option.
I run my blog and some small SaaS utils. I've never had a complaint ever about speed, responsiveness, or latency.
I thought it was because I eschewed bloated front-end frameworks. ;-)
It wasn't really an issue.
