Once every 2 or 3 years I configure a new VPS with the latest Ubuntu LTS server release, install latest PostgreSQL, NGINX, Redis, Node.js. No containers, just standard Linux user accounts for each app. Pretty boring to be honest, but I don't have a problem that requires more complexity. I once tried a more complex distributed approach with load balancers and multiple VPN providers. Turned out the added complexity was the cause for instability and downtime.
