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.
