Looking at linode, those prices get you an instance with 1Gb of ram and a mediocre CPU. So you are running all of your applications on that?

Personal projects/MVPs/small projects? Absolutely. For what I'm running, there's no reason to need anything beyond that.
The point is, I used to just throw everything up on a PaaS. Heroku/Render, etc. and pay way more than I needed to, even if I had 0 users, lol.

I ran a LoB webapp for multiple companies on a similar setup. Turns out 1GB of RAM is insufficient to run even the most trivial Java webapps, like Jenkins, but is more than sufficient for even non-trivial things using Go + PostgreSQL.
Your stack may be slow, not the machine.
Most of my services run with 1vCPU and 512Mb of ram. You don't need huge specs for most normal applications.
For $3.5, Hetzner gives 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 40 GB SSD, and 10 TB of bandwidth.
Pretty oversold iirc, but then again, that's the same for Linode
Do you mean these are shared instances, and the stated resources are not actually available?
how much work should the GP do to migrate if Linode is good enough, to potentially save up to $1.50/month (or spend 50 cents more)?
