I moved my stuff to Hetzner. Obv I have no idea about your situation, but I found it fairly trivial for my stuff.

But I can't figure out how to replace GSuite.

Well for one thing, call me a sell-out or accuse me of lacking craftsmanship, but I like my databases managed. Then also storage buckets, IAM, general cloud security and other niceties.

And I don't think it's for a lack of skills, I know my way around a Linux box - it's just that I save so much time. I'll occasionally build small projects in a VPS (sometimes cramming the db in there too!) but I don't feel I can do it for other more serious work projects.

Hetzner has basic load-balancing and security around the VPS and that's it, OVH has a bit more but it all looks quite green.

Oh, I wasn't trying to say you're wrong. Just wanted to share that for me, the bottleneck has been elsewhere, and that I personally found GSuite harder than the compute cloud.

You're not wrong. Europe has no clouds only hosting & vps providers. Nothing has changed in 20 years. Really sad actually.

I had the same worries and then we moved to OVH and Hetzner and had no issues.

AWS RDS is about 10x more expensive than bare metal with maybe 1/4th the disk performance.

Regarding operations I simply setup a primary and read replica together with a PGBackRest continuous archiving and backup solution to a S3 compatible storage service.

Has worked like a charm in the last two years and recreating the database is a breeze.

Our database is ~8 TB large.

Scaleway offers all of these.
