DigitalOcean Marketplace VS Porter

If you want dirt cheap hosting, do it yourself. While it may seem complicated at first, you'll learn a ton and will pay dividends later in your career. Any cloud computing provider like DigitalOcean, Linode, etc, will do. They charge less than $10 of month and can host your site without issue. You can either learn how to set up your own NGINX or Apache server or install one of the '1-click' apps and spin up a... Source: about 1 year ago

Another alternative is to get a pre-configured droplet from their marketplace e.g if you have a php, myslq app you would install the LAMP droplet https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

The first step was to deploy Appwrite. I've used Digital Ocean for some time and I love their single-click app marketplace. This got me a cheap droplet running Appwrite in about 5min. Using an existing domain for testing purposes I set up a subdomain for the Appwrite instance, played around with the admin console and thought "Hell yeah, this is awesome!". - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

In 2019, we launched the DigitalOcean Marketplace, so that builders can quickly install common software packages on DigitalOcean Droplets while giving them the flexibility to perform their own software maintenance and management. We called these solutions Droplet 1-Click Apps, and later added Kubernetes 1-Click Apps to reduce the complexity of deploying software packages to clusters.

There are some YC startups (AtomizedHq.com and getporter.dev) that are doing really interesting things with cross-cloud K8S deployments (more like heroku). These are all different bits of the serverless microservices scaling puzzle. We are a long way off but trying to think long term, even as a 2 person alpha prototype :). Source: almost 3 years ago

But then I saw a YC startup called Porter (https://getporter.dev) that made getting the cluster set up and deploying the apps from Heroku on AWS EKS a piece of cake. It's really great. There is another YC startup called Atomized (https://atomizedhq.com) that I've been looking at that's also really great. They are both worth checking out, and the teams from both are super-responsive. Source: almost 3 years ago
