We traveled to Falkenstein, Germany, to tour one of Hetzner’s data centers and see how their hands-on, DIY approach helps power their infrastructure at scale. From custom-built solutions to the servers themselves, we got a behind-the-scenes look at how Hetzner does things a little differently.

9:55 Welcome to German efficiency
How did Linus go there without a box of LTT screwdrivers for them?
I love Hetzner, they are the cheapest (yet still powerful) cloud provider
So if you have side projects that want to host on the cloud, like a website, then Hetzner is the best choice
13:54 I get the feeling Hetzner didn’t watch enough Linus Drop Tips 👀
11:12 Wonder if he’s still wearing sandals and socks 🤭
To 'even cleaner renewable energy'. You lost me there. Care to elaborate on the level of cleanliness in renewables?
fast food equivalent of server assembly line
that kind of roof was actually a pretty common ventilation method in the past, that's why it's the stereotypical old timey factory roof
And for once the Lederhosen is actually appropriate.
pretty cool but def no replacement for digital ocean <3
Hetzner has discovered barns.
we call it : "Deutsche Ingenieurkunst" 😂
when they said the German way i immediately thought "1940s German way"
oh man linus.. it's "Missed the old Bend and snap" from legally blonde…..
it isnt the largest
Wait, Linus is in Germany, and I can't meet him… cruel World
what do you mean linus visited germany without visiting me? greetings from dortmund
Sorry but that's not the German way/costume it's from Bavaria. That's the same as saying Florida man is a good representative of all Americans
Not gonna lie …. that building looks so ugly in the middle of the greenery … it makes that whole beautiful scene ugly AF! Cool Data-center though.
9:52 🐱 Huh?
Hetzner hit me up pls I want a job 👌🏼
Und direkt bei mir um die Ecke.
Wait a minute, you were here in Germany and didn't mention any of this? How am I supposed to get my autographs now, and how are you going to convince me to move here and work for you guys?
Now this the kind of Data Center I don’t mind at all
Germany: Efficiency first since 1941
It's only DIY if you're an individual. If it's a company, DIY is called 'vertical integration' 😂
Their energy input is so renewable that they adjust 2 times a year their prices due to the price increase in oil.
Renewable my rear.
