Ask HN: Production setup for apps

4 points by oyeanuj 8y ago ↗ HN

As I inch closer to going live to production with my app, I am curious about what production setups do other people have and what services are being used?

Mine are two Heroku apps - Rails-API backend (served on a subdomain) & React SSR frontend respectively. In addition, I am setting up CloudFlare, Imgix for images, S3 for storage.

I still need to figure out solutions for SSL, and CDN (if any additional).

What are your setups? And any experiences with any of the services mentioned?

Digital Ocean all the way. I am using a couple of inexpensive Droplets for server blocks and Dokku to host multiple websites, applications and APIs horizontally on those instances. This article [0] gives a lot of insights about my setup.
