Hey Anurag! Thanks for answering our questions here. Just curious, why do most of the new PaaSs (including Render apparently) go for GCP and AWS, instead of a cheaper option like Hetzner? It seems everyday I read another blog post of how switching away from the Big 3 Clouds (or DO) results in massive savings for some company.

Larger platforms have more underlying primitives platforms like Render can use (instances types, networking options, data storage options, regions, etc).

A PaaS (depending on scope) can easily be the most complicated thing to build in the cloud, so the more building blocks you have, the better.
