I've been using digital ocean for a few years now. It's been good. However I've struggled with the logging sometimes.
Sometimes builds fail and I found recently I got a lot of lack of memory but it took a while to debug that and find the message.
However, it's great to connect to GitHub and it will deploy when pushed to master but that's pretty standard I guess.
So you are using the App Platform, and not Droplets? How does the pricing work for you?
I used droplets, I'm not sure about if there's a difference in pricing.
I pay $5 a month for 1 droplet. I started by using $200 credit such as my link - to try it out - m.do.co/c/b6731a07428c and continued using for 2 years now.
Caprover on a Contabo VPS
Oh yeah! Totally forgot about contabo, I actually used to host with them in ~2016 I think. Need to check them out again :)
How has your experience been with them, especially around reliability?
Rock solid (the only outage I had in years was self-inflicted, silly me), awesome support and always friendly. Really can't say anything bad about them.
Glad to hear that!
not even dev.to is free from these crappy listicle SEO advertisements -_-
I have been using Fly.io
Although the configurations take more than a few minutes but it very affordable with a lot of options for regions. Also provide postgreSQL DB.
Fly.io is pretty awesome, I really hope it works out for them, especially after their reliability issues. I loved how transparent they were!
I'm building dockerdeploy.cloud. It's an option between managing a VPS and going to DigitalOcean. You can host Docker images or docker compose files for little money.
The pricing:

Any thoughts on Render vs Fly vs Railway?/O settled on the last one but I don't know if I'm missing out
I tried all of them, but only used render in production. I really like the simplicity of render, although it does get quite expensive once you need some beefier hardware
