Container support in SST is a great addition! But I’d really like to see support for other providers like Hetzner or VPS services in general, which often offer a more cost-effective option. [Update: seems like SST offers a lot of providers (incl. Hetzner) with varying feature sets, only most to all examples are using aws in the guide]
Alternatively, you can offload server management to Coolify Cloud for an extra ~ $5/month, so your Hetzner resources are dedicated solely to running your containers.
- Hetzner VPS + Coolify Cloud: ~ $10/month
You can scale vertically via Hetzner (rescale) and horizontally via Coolify (add more servers).
A more budget-friendly option like this could be valuable for users running small to medium, even larger setups !
> Hetzner will arbitrarily null route your traffic
Never happened to me, been using Hetzner (dedicated though, not VPS) for almost 10 years. What exactly were you hosting before they pulled the plug on you?

For example, SST's AWS costs example:
- AWS Fargate: 0.25 vCPU, 0.5 GB RAM, 20GB SSD: ~$13/month
- AWS Load Balancer: ~$3/month
Total: ~$17/month (rounded up)

In comparison, a similar (even more powerful) setup on Hetzner can be significantly more affordable:
- Hetzner VPS: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD for ~ $5/month
Total: around $5/month.---
