- Author is a long-time Hetzner fan, praising their VPS and bare metal server prices and performance.
- Initially excited about Hetzner's new S3-compatible object storage as a missing piece for 'full Hetzner' deployments.
- Compares other European S3 providers like AWS, Scaleway, OVH, and Telekom Cloud, noting issues with cost, UI, reliability, or GDPR compliance.
- After migrating buckets to Hetzner S3, experienced poor performance, including upload failures and unavailable files when copying to Cloudflare R2.
- Speculates that problems may be due to using ceph as the underlying software, which is difficult to configure and maintain.
- Despite criticism, acknowledges Hetzner's effort in entering the market but currently cannot recommend their S3 service.
- Migrating away to Cloudflare R2 due to reliability concerns.
