How much does this cost you? I've been dealing with a huge workstation-server thing for years in order to get this flexibility and while the performance/cost is amazing, reliability and maintenance has been a pain. I've been thinking about buying some cloud compute but an equivalent workstation ends up being crazy expensive (>$100/mo).

There’s a crazy good deal for a dedicated server with 14-core/20-thread i5-13500 CPU and 64GB RAM, for just around 40 EUR/mo: https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-ex

This is honestly a bit overkill for a dev workstation (unless you compile Rust!), but since it’s a dedicated server it can also host any number of fully isolated services for homelab or saas. There’s nothing else like it in the wild, afaik.

6 eur/month. It's the most basic offering. I don't really need power for what I'm doing. Running tests locally took a bit longer than I had been used to, but just a bit. I'm pretty used to underpowered environments though. I find that underpowering is a good way to enforce a sort of hygiene in terms of what you do and how.
