Ask HN: Got any SAS idea for 4 DevOps/SRE seniors?

https://github.com/hetznercloud/awesome-hcloud might spark some ideas.
There's a lack of managed database solutions using Hetzner. For example multi-master replication/setup of postgresql. ubicloud-dot-com is the only one I'm aware of.

Thanks a lot, that was one area we were also looking into, it's good to hear it's a valid avenue to explore.
Hetzner is awesome, but keep in mind, that it has a very limited set of cloud services and lacking many things like managed Kubernetes, advanced networking, certificates and secrets management etc, you will need to build this by yourself.
You can build your own K8s cluster and deploy some containerised services, it would be a great exercise.
back story: Got together with a few friends, thinking of starting a side project involving Hetzner that might spark some joy into our old ass bones. We are devops/sre people each with 20+ years exp, but unfortunately with not much pub cloud exp among us, we mostly worked in banking or bank adjacent projects with private cloud or on prem, so plenty of iac know how, less cloud native and other state of the art stuff. So we figured Hetzner would be a good place for us to look at providing some kind of service on top of. We are however not that in the loop with the major pain points of a migration to it since none of us did anything similar. Any time taken to give some old farts some new ideas would much appreciated. Love the community and hopefully some time soon, we'll move our decrepit asses from ask HN to show HN.
