3x performance for 1/4 of the price by migrating from AWS to Hetzner

By migrating from AWS and DigitalOcean to Hetzner, DigitalSociety saved 76% on cloud bills while tripling capacity. Initially using AWS for core hosting and DigitalOcean for lightweight services, they found AWS costs unsustainable for their data-intensive SaaS product. Transitioning to Hetzner involved running Kubernetes with Talos Linux and CloudNativePG for managed databases, resulting in significant cost savings and increased capacity. Challenges included adapting to Hetzner's network zones and migrating ECS configurations to Kubernetes, but overall, the move proved highly beneficial in terms of cost and performance.
