DigitalOcean
Developer-friendly cloud platform with the best documentation and tutorials in the industry.
Min erfarenhet
DigitalOcean is the "just works" cloud provider. Their Droplets (VPS) are dead simple to create â pick a size, pick a region, done. The documentation is genuinely the best in the industry â their tutorials have saved me countless hours.
The managed database offering is excellent for indie devs. PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis â all handled, with automated backups and point-in-time recovery. No need to be a DBA.
The downside is price. A $12/month Droplet gets you 1 vCPU and 1GB RAM. Hetzner gives you 2 vCPU and 4GB RAM for âŹ3.29. You're paying for the DX, managed services, and ecosystem. For a solo dev watching costs, that premium adds up.
Fördelar
- +Exceptional documentation and community tutorials (over 4,000 articles)

Nackdelar
- âMore expensive than Hetzner or Vultr for equivalent specs
- âFewer data center locations than Vultr (15 vs 32)
- âBandwidth overages can be costly without monitoring
