Seconded, I'm on DigitalOcean App Platform, with further plans to self-manage it more either on individual droplets or a RKE2 cluster built on droplets, but I keep on kicking the can down the road because I don't need any more complexity
- JanSt 4y agoWhy do you want so self manage? Saving a few bucks is probably not worth the hassle. I pretty much spend zero time on infra * push to deploy * auto-restart * managed db * easy scaling * s3 object storage * don‘t spend time on updates * web ui (monitoring, basic logging, configuration, ..)
- skrtskrt 4y agoreally just for my own infra-management education, not any functional reason
- systemvoltage 4y agoI go the other way. No docker, just bare metal server with 4 cores and it can handle a shitton of traffic. - Debian OS, fully locked down (all ports closed except SSH, with limiter). - SSH + rsync to deploy app. I don't have a risk factor of managing dependencies between dev and prod, so I eliminated docker. - SQLite db that gets thrown on S3 every hour using a python script. I don't want streaming anything. Just hourly backups is good enough. - Cloudflare tunnel to connect to outside world and serve requests. It is fast, cheap and requires not much "infra" knowledge. Of course this is for solo devs and small companies.
