Serious Deployment

I am getting closer to launching v1 of DfE into the wild.

I have a lot of doubts about what to do in terms of deployment.

Do I use a PaaS like render.com or fly.io which provide a do-it-for-you approach with the attached price? (I know in render.com it will be around 14$ for deploying a web service AKA Django App + a postgresDB).

Or do I take the DIY route and buy myself a VPS in Hetzner (3€) and deploy with Caprover (free)? This would mean learning a bit about Docker (not much to learn if I choose Django Cookiecutter), and DevOps.

Would the savings by using the PaaS be worth the “headaches” from spinning my own solution?
