Careful with DigitalOcean, though. I had my entire account frozen (and all servers stopped) for an hour due to spinning up dedicated CPU instances to do some video transcoding.
Fortunately for us, we don't have anything mission-critical on DigitalOcean. Running a similar load on Vultr (high frequency CPU nodes) simply got us a polite email asking us to switch to dedicated nodes, which we happily did.
- ajsharp 6y agoAppreciate this anecdote. I tested their new PaaS recently and found the build times to be ungodly slow, much more so than Heroku.
- japhyr 6y agoDid I understand this right, that they stopped your servers because you spun up some dedicated CPU instances? Isn't that what you're supposed to do?
