Ditching PaaS: Why I Went Back to Self-Hosting
shubhamjain.co
In recent times, my opinion about self-hosting has changed. Instead of paying for multiple services, I am now renting a decently sized VPS on Scaleway, and hosting all my projects on them. It’s been three months, and it has been working out great for me.

Great writeup! I've been doing a project with a 2gb 1vcpu vps as my host and one compose file. It is so much simpler than past project that I used aws for.
Can you share any specifics about your compose file and how it's structured?
I've got 4 services, mongo, mongo express, my web service and traffik. When I want to deploy I git pull master then docker compose up -d --build
Thanks for the reply and explanation!
