I've just finished migrating toot.community to Hetzner. It's now operating on Talos Linux with a managed Kubernetes setup across several bare-metal servers.
Utilizing managed Kubernetes on VMs proved to be increasingly costly. While DigitalOcean's managed experience is great, a shift in strategy is needed to maintain financial stability due to the gradual decline in donations each month.
As always, it's a financial trade-off between being cared for, and taking care of.
