> I was considering something similar and then found this: https://gist.github.com/frozenice/fafb1565f8299a888f94d11137... (benchmarking Hetzner's cloud volumes, with unfavorable comments from people trying PG and MySQL deployments).

Network volumes always have lower iops than local disks. Thats expected, except when you pay a huge price.

> I emphasize that I personally did not run any such tests, yet. But was wondering, since this is Hetzner thread, that maybe someone can share their experience, in particular comparing AWS's gp2/gp3 based deployments vs Hetzner's volumes.

AWS GP3 has a baseline performance of 3000 iops, and from there on you have to pay for each iop/s. To reach the performance of hetzner volumes you have to add 20$/month. But with AWS you can get higher than the hetzner value. But the iops performance of the dedicated machine is not possible with gp3 (max. 16k, compared to hetzner 30-40k for local disks).

With io2 devices you can get higher than 16k iops, and higher than the hetzner local disk.
