I disagree.
For a startup it should be whatever you know and are familiar with, and preferably something managed. For $20/month you can run a mysql database, plus a DO app platform app which is a docker container with whatever stack you want. A single tutorial will give you a CI CD pipeline with reproducible artifacts and something that will scale until it's worth actually paying attention to it.
- TekMol 4y agoDO app platform is rather new. It will probably be in flux for the forseeable future. And then you have to dabble with changes. With barebones LAMP you can be a happy camper.
- maccard 4y agoIts 2 and a half years old. I've had a side project (just a crude app) deployed with this and GitHub actions for a year, and in that time I've not once had to change anything on the DO side. I can set up a CI pipeline that deploys to a DO app service in under 5 minutes and not have to touch it again for a long time. If DO decides to pull the rug on supporting containers then I'll use some other similar platform, and in the unlikely scenario that all of those providerd disappear, ill spin up a VPS on whatever provider you run your custom lamp stack on, install docker and move on. Until that day comes, I won't worry about the underlying platform and I'll continue to deploy using a zero friction pipeline that I set up when I waited for my coffee to brew one morning last January
