> And while Hetzner's price-performance is exceptional, its limited presence in the US was a consideration; for this staging workload, it wasn't an issue, but it's a factor for production services targeting US users.

What is this referring to? Concerns about capacity if you need to scale up quickly? Or just "political"/marketing considerations about people not being used to being served by a Hetzner server?

From memory there aren't many dedicated servers available in the US.

I guess it's latency and data residency.

Correct! Re: latency, as I just noted elsewhere, if you run your prod database using Crunchy Bridge or Supabase or another big provider (which you absolutely should for prod), that typically means that your db will be running within an AWS region. You would, in most cases, need to run your compute in the same region. So yeah, at that point, Hetzner would be out.

Latency to the US from Europe?
