Can I host my backend on a DigitalOcean VPS, provided that I do host my frontend on App Platform? I do prefer docker, so please say yes :) 🙏

Hey there 👋

I believe that as the main objective of the hackathon is to host the applications on the new App platform, it is best to deploy both of your backend and front-end services on the App platform.

You will still be able to use Docker actually. You can provide a Dockerfile for DigitalOcean to use in the build process.
