What is disadvantage of Caprover

CapRover is a great platform for deploying and managing applications, but it does have some disadvantages. Here are a few of them:

Limited support for persistent data: CapRover only supports persistent data on disk, which means that it cannot be scaled horizontally. This can be a problem for applications that need to store large amounts of data.
Scaling on multiple nodes can be difficult: CapRover does not have a built-in way to scale applications across multiple nodes. This can be a challenge for applications that need to handle a lot of traffic.
Not as mature as some other platforms: CapRover is a relatively new platform, so it is not as mature as some of the other options available. This means that there may be fewer features and documentation available.
Can be complex to set up: CapRover can be complex to set up, especially if you are not familiar with Docker Swarm.
Overall, CapRover is a great platform for deploying and managing applications. However, it is important to be aware of its limitations before you use it.

Lastly, in Front-end of Caprover, we are unable to limit resources of a container. Therefore sometime the App got bugs, it consumes all the resources of our Host! Docker get crashed!, what the heck. (However, you can manually adjust resources with caption config file. They call it 'Service Update Override https://caprover.com/docs/service-update-override.html)

Here are some alternatives to CapRover that you may want to consider (but they are not Free! :):

Heroku: Heroku is a cloud-based platform that makes it easy to deploy and scale applications. It is a good option for applications that need to be highly available and scalable.
AWS Elastic Beanstalk: AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a service that makes it easy to deploy and manage web applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It is a good option for applications that need to be hosted on AWS.
Google App Engine: Google App Engine is a service that makes it easy to deploy and manage web applications on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It is a good option for applications that need to be hosted on GCP.
The best platform for you will depend on your specific needs and requirements.
