Deploy Node.js applications on a VPS using Coolify
When I came across Coolify, I thought of giving it a try. I am aware of Dokku, but I never really tried it because it doesn't have a UI. I work primarily as a UI developer, so having a nice UI to work with is a plus for me.

The Hater's Guide to Kubernetes
I run all my projects on Dokku. Itās a sweet spot for me between a barebones VPS with Docker Compose and something a lot more complicated like k8s. Dokku comes with a bunch of solid plugins for databases that handle backups and such. Zero downtime deploys, TLS cert management, reverse proxies, all out of the box. Itās simple enough to understand in a weekend and has been quietly maintained for many years. The only downside is itās meant mostly for single server deployments, but Iāve never needed another server so far.

Netlify just sent me a $104K bill for a simple static site
Yeah there are a bunch of selfhostable things:
Caprover (https://caprover.com/)
Dokku (https://github.com/dokku/dokku)
But people still choose Netlify and Vercel for ease of use I think.
Maybe we need something that's just Netlify. The closest I've seen to the "right" UX is Ness:

Ask HN: How are you hosting multiple small apps?
Based on the fact that your ideal is to have a similar experience to heroku than managing your own server setting up reverse proxies take a look at these options:
1) https://dokku.com - lets you turn your light sail instance basically into heroku
2) https://render.com
3) https://fly.io
4) If you have aws credits this is their heroku equivalent: https://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk
above is not what I do but would be the options I would pursue if I understand your preference and requirement correctly.

The 2024 Web Hosting Report
A VM is the original āhostingā 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 āserverā market from the early 2000ās. 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.

Deploying a secured Node.js Application on AWS EC2 Instance from scratch (Detailed Guide)
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).

My Database History
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.
