Hetzner has dedicated resources too, but they also have 2 levels of shared resources, "Cost-Optimized" and "Regular Performance". The 3900 IOPS CX23 above is "Cost-Optimized".

Here are some "Regular Performance" shared resource stats

Hetzner CPX11 (Ashburn, 2 CPUs, 2GB, 5.49€ or $6.99/month before VAT)

write: IOPS=15.8k, BW=61.7MiB/s, avg/p99.9/max 2.4/6.1/18.7ms

Hetzner CPX22 (Helsinki, 2 CPUs, 4GB, 7.99€ or $9.49/month before VAT)

Anecdotally, I've been managing a Syncthing network with a file count in the ~200k range, everything synced bidirectionally across a few dozen (Windows) computers, for 9 years now; I've never seen data loss where Syncthing was at fault.

Good to know. I wonder what the difference is. We were doing things like running go build inside the source directory. Maybe it can't handle write races well on Linux/MacOS?

> .git files seem to still be backing up on my machine

Try checking bzexcluderules_editable.xml. A few years ago, Backblaze would back up .git folders for Mac but not Windows. Not sure if this is still the case.

Cool, maybe I'll be able to access www.census.gov from outside the US now

At least the starting page is reachable from Germany without a VPN.

Disclaimer: I have not used either product; I have used a number of Cloudflare's (mostly free tier) offerings.

In addition to the other points brought up, it looks like pricing strongly favors Bunny once you're outside of Cloudflare's free tier.

Per billion rows read: Bunny $0.30, Cloudflare $1.00 (first 25B/month free)

Per million rows written: Bunny $0.30, Cloudflare $1.00 (first 50M/month free)

Per GB stored: Bunny $0.10/region, Cloudflare $0.75 (5GB free)

Bunny also has a lot better region selection, 41 available vs. Cloudflare's 6 (see https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/configuration/data-loca...). Even though Bunny charges storage per region used where Cloudflare doesn't, Bunny still comes out cheaper with 7 regions selected. Bunny lets you choose how many and which regions to replicate across; Cloudflare's region replication is an on/off toggle that is in beta and requires you to use "the new Sessions API" (I don't know what this entails).

The main reason I haven't tried out D1 is that it locks you into using Workers to access the database. Bunny says they have an HTTP API.

I plan to stick with VPSes for compute and storage, but I do like seeing someone (other than Amazon) challenge Cloudflare on their huge array of fun toys for devs to play with.
