The article mentions Digital Ocean provides the infrastructure so it seems the only cost is dev time. It reads almost like a promotional for DO with all of their services mentioned, which is probably why they support it to begin with.

DO has sometimes been accused of overselling capacity and then terminating services when they are fully used. I have never actually heard a first-hand account of this, but I assume that is what the parent is talking about.
