I heard about fly.io in Hacker News.
Maybe its useful. :)
I really like AWS, probably because I was an early adopter when it came out and I got used to working with it and its quirks. The web console could be a lot better, but I think it's okay-ish most of the time. I find the pricing adequate, not too cheap, not too expensive, and overall I'm satisfied with the SLAs.
Netlify has got to be my first choice it is just so simple to get an application up on there. My portfolio website is currently live on there and the same is true for almost all of the apps and websites I have at the moment. Vercel is my second choice and it is where I first hosted my portfolio created in React. Heroku is also very good and I think its easier than Netlify and Vercel when it comes to getting a Node app running with little configuration although the free tier can be a bit limiting.
For ML: the GCP $300 free credit goes pretty far! I've trained some GANs on that :) And you can get pre-emptible instances, so basically half-off GPUs if you're okay with possibly getting bumped (just add checkpoints to your model training and you'll be fine).
I'm a huge fan of Google Cloud. Nothing like their managed Kubernetes as a service ❤️
Vultr is the best cloud service out there. Best performance, reasonable price, and reliability.
Also, $100 free credit to get start. vultr.com/?ref=8486064-6G
I used AWS, Google cloud, and DO also but Vultr has value for money.
Tier 2: Heroku (the original) and Netlify.
Tier 1: I’m loving AWS with Amplify and Serverless framework right now, but I’m keen to try other tier 1 services... Azure is top of my list to try!
Also Cloudflare is doing amazing things with its edge functions that seem to make much more sense than Lambda@edge (Using v8 engine instanced instead of a full container)
Netlify by a mile. It’s so easy to get sites up, serverless functions deployed, and with identity, analytics and form handling it’s my preferred host for most projects
Vercel
AWS EC2/Lambda, Digitalocean
DynamoDB, MongoDB (on Atlas)
Cloudflare
AWS is by far my favorite cloud provider that just has anything I want or need, it can sometimes be a little tricky and I use Vercel to make it a little bit easier sometimes for simple frontend and backends. Recently DynamoDB has been my favorite database to ever use and once you learn how to use it properly it is super powerful and always consistent speeds no matter how much data there is. Cloudflare is of course just super nice all around and I mainly use it for DNS/CDN. I have played around some with workers though never really used them for a real project yet.
I like AWS but I had terrible performance problems with DynamoDB. Maybe it was just my specific use case.
Love Digital Ocean and Netlify!
