You ain’t replacing 250k/mo worth of ec2 with a single hetzner server so your “super-simple failover” option goes out the window. Baremetal is not that much faster if you’re running ruby on it, dont fall for the marketing.
I never said that you should only have one server on Hetzner. For the web servers and background workers, though, scaling horizontally with docker images on physical server is still trivial.
By the way, I was running my startup on 17 physical machines on Hetzner, so I'm not talking from marketing but from experience.
