The beauty of Hetzner is its dedicated servers. You can get 8 core, 64GB ECC, 1TB SSD server for mere 64 EUR/mo. AWS has nothing like that, AFAIK.

This. Plus some really cheap rigs with older hardware. For 30 euro you get a fourh gen i7 with 32 GB RAM and 3TB hdd.

Multiply that by 5 and you have our dirt cheap, extremely reliable elasticsearch cluster.

Do you have numbers to share? That sounds really hard to believe.

Can AWS Spot Instances really beat this? https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-ax

I think AWS will be at least 10x more if you include the traffic charges.

Note that bandwidth is included for servers with gigabit uplink - for 10gb uplink "only" 30TB/month is included. How much is just 5TB/month egress on Amazon?

Can you name some instance types? I had a look at a couple random ones and the closest equivalent at hetzner was always significantly cheaper.
