Shameless plug, but if you're looking for a cheap VPS and don't want to run the backing services that might be required by the application/whatever you're trying to host, I'm working on something to offer some basic (and later advanced) managed services on Hetzner.
I think Hetzner's great (it's definitely the right choice in here), but it is missing some features we've come to expect from low cost but robust cloud providers (DO, Linode, etc) -- Managed S3 storage, simple Database as a service, etc. I'm working on a sort of... proto-cloud that can sit on providers like Hetzner, OVH and LeaseWeb and offer this functionality.
I’m very interested on a personal level, not doing ops professionally atm, but my usage is still pretty crazy personally, what are my best resources to learn/relate your platform?
Sorry a bit late, but as I’ll be running pretty common F/OSS projects I can say that for the most part the UI I’m going for is click to deploy and be done (get a URL for your redis instance/cluster, you have to slot that in).
Early on I won’t be supporting running custom code — so it will basically only be backing services!
If you wouldn’t mind emailing me I can give you access to the documentation early —- we will obviously live and die by documentation so probably best to stay there

My thing is called NimbusWS (https://nimbusws.com), but there are other things:
- Elestio: https://elest.io/
- Symbiosis: https://symbiosis.host (they offer managed k8s, they run on Hetzner IIRC)
