DigitalOcean is a cloud infrastructure provider catering to developers, offering scalable virtual servers, storage solutions, networking services, and managed Kubernetes clusters. It simplifies application deployment, management, and scaling through its intuitive user interface and CLI (doctl), allowing developers to efficiently utilize cloud resources for their projects.

In this guide, we'll leverage the strengths of Neon serverless Postgres to establish a PostgREST API on DigitalOcean. With PostgREST, a PostgreSQL database is turned into a RESTful API.

A VM is the original “hosting” product of the cloud era. Over the last 20 years, VM providers have come and gone, as have enterprise virtualization solutions such as VMware. Today you can do this somewhere like OVHcloud, Hetzner or DigitalOcean, which took over the “server” market from the early 2000’s. Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft's Azure also offer VMs, at a less competitive price. In their case, the VMs are either a building block for other services or the value is in the ecosystem. See the section on public cloud below for more.

Every website or web application you have ever come across on the internet contains code deployed there by someone like you (or by aliens; I can't tell the extent of their involvement at this time) and for you as a web/software developer, knowing how to deploy your code to the streets of the internet via a remote server such as cloud servers is an invaluable skill to have today. There are several decent hosting services around that enable you to properly and securely host your website or web app such as Digital Ocean, Heroku, Vercel (mostly for front-end apps) and chief amongst them, Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Hacktoberfest is a month long celebration during October each year. 2023 is the ten year anniversary of the event and I'm excited that something like this still runs. Hacktoberfest is spearheaded by Digital Ocean. This year, ILLA and Appwrite have joined as the presenting partners.

Hacktoberfest, started by DigitalOcean, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year 🥳 It is an annual event that celebrates open-source software development by having developers actively contribute to open-source projects. As of last year alone, there were over 147,000 participants.

My transitioning to MongoDB was swift and straightforward, primarily due to my prior use of the Repository pattern; I only had to update a single file. I was optimistic with that my MongoDB setup would be long-lasting. However, the unforeseen circumstances surrounding the Russian invasion of Ukraine led to my server crashing, resulted loss of the most of my data and projects. Fortunately I've since managed to recover and relocate everything I could to Digital Ocean (My referral link). So now everything is back in operation.

Next.js has become a standard choice for developing React applications, offering various deployment options across different platforms. While Vercel is a popular choice for building and deployment, specific project requirements may require deployment to GitLab. In this guide, I'll illustrate the process of deploying a Next.js application to GitLab Pages.

I hosted my portfolio in Vercel. The main reason why I chose it is the hosting has great support for NextJS and IMPORTANT THING, it is total FREE 🤑 (with my usage). And I have use GitHub Action for deploy it automatically when I make or merge change into main branch.

To do this just head over to Vercel and log in if you're not already logged in. If this is your first project, you'll be seeing something like this.

function getContentSecurityPolicyHeaderValue( nonce: string, reportUri: string, ): string { // Default CSP for Next.js const contentSecurityPolicyDirective = { 'base-uri': [`'self'`], 'default-src': [`'none'`], 'frame-ancestors': [`'none'`], 'font-src': [`'self'`], 'form-action': [`'self'`], 'frame-src': [`'self'`], 'connect-src': [`'self'`], 'img-src': [`'self'`], 'manifest-src': [`'self'`], 'object-src': [`'none'`], 'report-uri': [reportUri], // for old browsers like Firefox 'report-to': ['csp'], // for modern browsers like Chrome 'script-src': [ `'nonce-${nonce}'`, `'strict-dynamic'`, // force hashes and nonces over domain host lists ], 'style-src': [`'self'`], } if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') { // Webpack use eval() in development mode for automatic JS reloading contentSecurityPolicyDirective['script-src'].push(`'unsafe-eval'`) } if (process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_VERCEL_ENV === 'preview') { contentSecurityPolicyDirective['connect-src'].push('https://vercel.live') contentSecurityPolicyDirective['connect-src'].push('wss://*.pusher.com') contentSecurityPolicyDirective['img-src'].push('https://vercel.com') contentSecurityPolicyDirective['font-src'].push('https://vercel.live') contentSecurityPolicyDirective['frame-src'].push('https://vercel.live') contentSecurityPolicyDirective['style-src'].push('https://vercel.live') } return Object.entries(contentSecurityPolicyDirective) .map(([key, value]) => `${key} ${value.join(' ')}`) .join('; ') }

This is a demo project to demonstrate how a Web2 frontend hosted on VERCEL can access a Motoko backend canister on the Internet Computer using Server Side Rendering (SSR).
