This is definitely some ChatGPT output being posted here and your post history also has a lot of this "While X, Y also does Z. Y already overlaps with X" output. I'd like to see your breakdowns as well, given that the cost difference between a 2 vCPU, 4GB configuration (as an example) and a similar configuration on AWS is priced much higher. There's also https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne... to reduce the operational burden that you speak of.
In Kubernetes on Hetzner: cutting my infra bill by 75%
I like Epinio which does the same but on top of kubernetes. It is backed by Suse and lightweight compared to KNative (which is the basis of GCP CloudRun for example), but being kubernetes based still requires more Resources than dokku or Piku. I still prefer k8s due to the vast ecosystem of mature solutions. And I can still run everything on a single box, it just needs to be a bit bigger. The new Hetzner CX42 with 8 vCPUs, 16 GB of RAM, and 160 GB of disk space for € 16.40 a month (€ 0.0273 per hour) is sufficient, and with the Kube Hetzner Project I can set up a kubernetes cluster with auto updating microos in 5 minutes. https://github.com/epinio/epinio/ https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne...
In Piku: Allows git push deployments to your own servers
I run my own cluster too, it is managed by one terraform file which is maintained on GitHub [0]. Along with that I deploy everything on here with 1 shell script and a bunch of yaml manifests for my services. It's perfect for projects that are managed by one person (me). Everything is in git and reproducable. The only thing I am doing unconventional is that I didn't want to use github actions, so I use Kaniko to build my Docker containers inside my cluster. 0 https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne...
