Planning on launching an app in around a month. Wanting to get familiar with a process that I have zero understanding of currently.

From what I’ve read, DO will provide a good solid mix of ease of use, scalability, and not being as expensive as AWS/Azure.

It’s a CRUD app that will include essentially no media. I would be very pleased if I ever reached 5k daily users.

I just wanted to make a thread for peace of mind before I jump into anything.

Thank you for any advice.

    You can also use a company like Hetzner, you could double or even triple your VPS resources for the same price you pay at DO. PM me if you are interested in trading then it is can send you a referral code. I’ve been very happy switching from DO, the max bandwidth allowance is 20TB instead of tierd like DO. I was also only getting about 2Gbps speeds at DO and I haven’t seen less than 7Gbps with Hetzner

      DO have more managed services, though. So it’s a balance between convenience and raw price. I’d say that for somebody starting solo, DO (and other PaaS) might be worth the premium
