Planning on launching an app in around a month. Wanting to get familiar with a process that I have zero understanding of currently.

From what I’ve read, DO will provide a good solid mix of ease of use, scalability, and not being as expensive as AWS/Azure.

It’s a CRUD app that will include essentially no media. I would be very pleased if I ever reached 5k daily users.

I just wanted to make a thread for peace of mind before I jump into anything.

Thank you for any advice.

    Wouldn’t we all be very pleased with 5k daily users? Lol

    You will be fine. Any VPS/cloud will work for the database don’t forget your backups. In fact, this is where you should invest a bit more and have a managed database solution, so you can scale up if needed, unless you are very savvy with db administration
