We decided to benchmark the new AX102 to see if the Enterprise NVMe drives (with PLP) actually made a difference compared to standard consumer NVMe.

The TL;DR: The difference in fsync latency is massive. For anyone running Postgres/MySQL on Hetzner, the upgrade to Enterprise NVMe is almost mandatory for data integrity and performance. Happy to answer any questions about the benchmarks!

Install a cloudflared tunnel on your remote server, configure it to forward traffic to that server's hosts proxy server(maybe Shadowsocks) using Zero Trust dashboard, and run the following command on your local computer:

cloudflared access tcp --hostname some.your-domain.tld --url localhost:8080

Then localhost:8080's traffic will be forwarded to cloudflareds' host, the whole traffic is using HTTP2 so might look legitimate to Firewall.

For example if using Shadowsocks on server, your Shadowsocks's local client can connect to localhost:8080 as server to forward traffic.

Do you have any advice in this regard? We do have a preliminary plan to register a European company in Estonia (through e-Estonia) after achieving good revenue to continue our operations.

(WebP Cloud Services starts by providing a free service of Gravatar/GitHub Avatar reverse proxy with WebP optimization at first, and now it's our first attempt to make a paid services of private proxy as more of our users want this to be a more generally available service.

(And we are currently not a company indeed) ´･ᴗ･`

No intentional protesting at the notion of being a company, just unsure if "company," "business," and "startup" have the same meaning in certain contexts.

The score on Geekbench is Single-Core: 838,Multi-Core: 842.

While in our tests the cheapest ARM64 plan on Hetzner is CAX11 2Core, 4G RAM, about 5USD/mo, the Geekbench result is Single-Core: 1072,Multi-Core: 1921, so assuming it about 20% faster than DigitalOcean.

We've done the same test on Rpi4B too:

Processor : Cortex-A72

CPU cores : 4 @ 1500.0000 MHz

Score is Single-Core: 247,Multi-Core: 387

For your reference.

Sure, and we're planning to share another post later on the whole procedure of our migration from AMD64 to ARM64, and in that post we'll include more details about Clickhouse's problem if we can definitively establish that the problem was caused by alpine. (After this incident I personally have bias against alpine images too

Comparing alpine and non-alpine images on DockerHub:

https://hub.docker.com/layers/clickhouse/clickhouse-server/2...

https://hub.docker.com/layers/clickhouse/clickhouse-server/2...

There is just ~66MB(255MB vs 321MB) of size difference, my personal advice after this to to avoid alpine images in production as much as possible :P

(My first attempt on registration got my account closed even I've provided by passport.(maybe it's because I've used VPN for registration as it's website is too slow to open in China(might caused by china GFW)

LOL, we're not a company, we are just a small team of three individuals(Nova Kwok,Benny Think and Tuki Deng).

[convert images to WebP]

May I ask your use case on this? (As we've recently launched a product called WebP Cloud might fit this need. (And we're actively seeking seed users.))

WebP Cloud documentation here: https://docs.webp.se/webp-cloud/

I'm quite confused about it's performance as well.
