For anyone looking for easy to use docker hosting, I would heartily recommend docker cloud(1st node free, then 14$/node/month), along with bare metal providers

  Do you have a relational database? If yes, how do you manage it? HA, monitoring, backups? There seems to be about a gazillion ways to get "some code running somewhere" but I'm not aware of many budget options for data persistence.

    This is a concern for me. I really want the database and the app hosting in the same data centres.

    I don't have any relational database, but couch which also requires the things you are asking about - HA, clustering, backups etc. I am in process of launching my new app, so I have thought a lot about it as well. What I came up with is: 1) Database running inside docker, but using external mounted volume. Packet has external block storage(14$/month for 50GB high iops version), and you can configure backups on it ranging from 15m to every week. So that should completely cover the HA/backup stuff for most apps. 2) For monitoring/logging, the best solution so far seems to be datadog. It doesn't look very expensive, and seems to have most of the intergations you can come up with - couch, pgsql, docker, express, slack, github. Combined it costs me 70$, which is a much better deal than PAaS I can think of, Btw, if someone from datadog is reading this thread, your couch integration seems to be broken.

      @abhishivsaxena Ilan from Datadog here. Mind shooting me some details to ilan@datadog ? Happy to dig into the Couch integration.
