Are you trying to build a platform (as a service or otherwise) that many developers will deploy many applications into? Strongly consider Kubernetes. Are you trying to deploy one application you're also the developer of? Then use some existing platform as a service unless and until you hit limitations that no commodity offering can overcome and you need to roll your own. Are you trying to deploy a static site or something consisting mostly of informational content that isn't really an application and doesn't have meaningful uptime requirements? Fire and forget some VPS with httpd or nginx serving a directory you update with rsync, or maybe pick some templated off-the-shelf Wordpress thing.
