If you're going to deploy on Digital Ocean, I recommend you rebuild your app within Flynn (so you can migrate if anything goes wrong with your bill). Take a backup of your cluster (or the individual apps) after you are done and if you get a surprise, just rebuild your cluster somewhere else from a backup file.
Your software is too precious and your small startup is too precious to be married to someone who just thinks of you as "a customer". DO has never done me wrong (I have used their platform for years) but having a plan is handy.
- tyingq 9y agoThis is great advice. I'd go one further and select some DO competitor to deliver some part of your app. Even if it's just the backend for static assets that you're pointing a CDN at. Then, if you run into issues with either DO or the competitor, you already have an account and familiarity with how things work. Also, don't host the DNS records at either place. Put them somewhere else so that your DNS records aren't held hostage if there's an account issue.
- mintplant 9y agoI can recommend https://dns.he.net https://dns.he.net for this. Free, no fuss, and backed by a major Internet backbone provider.
