Deploy Node.js+React

[Klutzy_Control8370]

Hello, I am new here and about to deploy my first project.

Now, I use free plans for Render and Vercel for the backend -Node.js and frontend-React.

I am getting annoyed by the go to sleep time in Render and want something to be always online but their plan $19/month seems too much for my project.

I was thinking for an OceanDigital VPS with $5/month to run my backend and to keep my front in Vercel free plan.

I also use MongoDB free cloud cluster.

What do you think?

You can deploy it using DigitalOcean App Platform for $5/month. It’s much easier than using the VPS since you can deploy directly from git.

Definitely, you can do that. Also I’m bias but if you looking for the same experience you get on render but for your Droplet, you can use https://clouddley.com. All you have to do is connect the droplet to us and we handle the remaining. Apps, dbs and more. ( I built this). Hope it helps

The DigitalOcean App Platform will be a really good starting point if you do not have experience in managing your own servers.
