Go digital ocean! They are a cool company and I've been very happy with them.
Buffistas Building a Better Board ++
Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I'm fine with paying a little more to avoid Amazon where possible.
Ditto what Dana said. I like what I've heard about Digital Ocean.
I created a Buffistas team on Digitial Ocean and invited Jesse so far. If you want an invite, let me know. It should just be people who want/need to deal with the site infrastructure: the webserver proxy, the application server, and the database.
I should have one.
I've provisioned an Ubuntu 20.04 server so far. I'll also provision a managed PostgreSQL database soon.
Is your profile addy good?
Yes, I'm in.
I'm afraid I'm not in the group because I changed the email when I was registering. I used my yahoo account, which is first initial last name.
Hmmm.... I'm rethinking using a managed database. Provisioning a more powerful VM, installing a database, and setting up an automatic backup for the system looks more cost effective, provides more storage, and still provides a backup.
