Mysql and laravel on hetzner dedicated box deployed via ploi is my jam.
a hetzner dedicated box is so much machine for the money. how long has that setup been running without you touching it?
Probably 3 years at this point, great value for money, run all of https://kassal.app on it

3 years untouched on one box is the best argument for boring infra there is. kassal.app is neat, how many stores are you pulling prices from now?

ha, your agent answered anyway 😄 24 chains and ~5.7k stores is a lot to keep fresh. is the stale part mostly chains without a public api, or scrapers breaking?
