RIm surprise that Digital Ocean is not recommended
Rthis option is really interesting
ZUsed both and strongly prefer railway
Nmain issue with DO is that i don't want to spin and manage a virtual machine
Rnow DO has apps that are managed servers with load balancers
DDigitalOcean's App Platform has been pretty great. No need to maintain infra, just pass in a few values and off it goes.
R@denolfe what kind of app have you deployed to DO?
D@redeemefy Mostly node.js apps. Some auto-deploy from specific branches, and others have deploys triggered from GitHub Actions using their AppSpec API.
