Gitlab CI or Bitbucket Pipelines deploying to Heroku.

Heroku for personal projects

Elastic Beanstalk with Docker has worked well for me.

If you docker'ize the app you can really run it anywhere.

I run it directly on Elastic Beanstalk, combined with RDS.

Seems to be the way to go. I'm waiting for docker to run on Windows 10 home.

$5/mo Digital Ocean droplet + Ansible deploy scripts based on https://github.com/jcalazan/ansible-django-stack

Yeah I've got a $5 droplet as well, but I think I just hacked together Nginx + Gunicorn (without any sort of scripts)

I used to set up each fresh VM by hand as well. After doing that 5+ times, each time taking around 2-3 hours, I realized learning to automate things might save time in the long run.

Ansible is an investment for sure, but one that’s already paid off in time saved.

Docker push to ECR/ECS Fargate all wrapped up in a make command. (Should integrate w CodePipeline but too lazy so far.) It’s much slower than Elastic Beanstalk which used to be my go to, but without the env nightmares that come with EB. Sounds like DO droplet would be easier and cheaper though.
