If you need much more than compute, managed k8s and blob storage, then you're architecting yourself for a vendor lock-in.

Absolutely not. There's a gazillion cloud providers out there with hosted postgres+kafka+redis and the other big open source softwares. Hetzner is just not one of them.

Please list them, especially the ones with managed services..

Hetzner, OVH and Upcloud. All of them have object storage, managed Redis,Postgres and K8S.

Most of the time the missing things are homegrown SaaS offerings of big 3 and identity services. You will not find equivalent IAM or BigQuery in indie clouds.

Hetzner has k8s? I only see VMs and block storage.

Scaleway as well

Please list them, especially the ones with managed services.

Welcome to the real world. I’m not saying this is a good thing, but this is what’s happened. That’s why everyone is doing AWS. To pretend this is a non-issue and can easily be fixed by investing a bit in development does not reflect reality.

At my last workplace we literally fixed this by investing a bit in development.

You worked at an industry giant like Airbus? Cool.
