Why Memgraph Infrastructure Was Moved to Hetzner

Memgraph recently transitioned from using its own co-located hardware infrastructure to primarily utilizing Hetzner's services, a move driven by the need for cost efficiency, predictability, operational simplicity, and benchmarking rigor. This shift resulted in a 50% reduction in infrastructure costs and improved build times and reliability. Hetzner's shared vCPU instances are optimized for cost-efficient velocity, significantly reducing build times and variability compared to the old hardware, while Hetzner's bare metal servers provide the stability needed for precise benchmarking. The migration alleviated the technical burdens of maintaining physical hardware and enhanced the company's ability to focus on core database development, culminating in faster, more stable CI pipelines and more scientific benchmarking processes. Despite the occasional outages, the infrastructure now offers improved networking, newer hardware, faster storage, and better support, leading to more reliable and consistent operations.
