Anyone has experience with VPSDime? The benchmark results look nice, and you get 6gb with 4 (virtual cores) for 7 dollar.
Currently I have one production projected hosted on Heroku, mostly because I don’t want to be bothered with database settings, backups etc. However, given that it’s fairly easy to deploy Elixir apps with exrm/distillery, and Heroku is pricey (25$ for a simple dyno + 50$ for database) I think that you get better ‘bang for bucks’ with:
-
Managed PostgreSQL from compose.io with Amazon EC2. Unfortunately they’re not offering PostgreSQL hosting in DO datacentres (as they do with MongoDB), to seriously cut costs
-
Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL + an EC2 instance.
The big caveat here is of course that it’s hard to say anything meaningful about the performance of each of the database offerings compared to the monthly price.
