I can't wait for PaaS prices to drop. I know they'll always be relatively expensive, but I'm primarily a dev (not ops) and I don't have the time nor desire to manage my own servers securely. Heroku lately has seemed a tempting offer, assuming I can run my apps on it (Rust based) , but at $7/m for little side projects it felt.. expensive for a no user side project. They can add up. A $5/m DO box can host quite a few a…

I've used BuyVM for years and they are quite reliable. Though, I had one VPS terminated (including all data wiped) because I didn't pay the monthly invoice within 1 week of the due date. They have one of the most strict timelines on invoices I've ever seen for a web service: 4,2,4 - Unpaid services will be suspended four days past the due date on the service. 4,2,5 - Unpaid services will be terminated seven days past…
Also, how is that block storage so much cheaper than anyone else's?

Give Google Cloud Run a try. Can run any Docker container, and billing is per request. It is basically a fully managed knative. https://cloud.google.com/run My side projects all run for free. (I work for Google Cloud)
For a well rounded review, can you or anyone comment on similar offerings with competitors? I was not familiar with per-request containers, but it sounds like exactly what I wanted.
Thoughts?
e.g. I purchased a VPS with 3vcore and 4gig RAM at 6 USD a month during black friday

Is that $15/year some old offer or is it still available? Not seeing it on the site. Also, how is that block storage so much cheaper than anyone else's?

edit: For context what I was already using was manual docker on a DO box. While I recognized that Dokku would make it more seamless and easier, my issue was managing and securing the DO VM itself. I didn't see how Dokku would help that scenario
