I'm on the hunt for a simple and budget-friendly cloud hosting platform to deploy my backend server. I've tried AWS, but it felt way too complex for my taste. Digital Ocean was also not a great fit due to cost. I usually go with Render, but I dislike how it automatically shuts down. I recently came across Fly.io—does anyone have experience with it? Is it worth considering?

Have you tried Railway? It's pretty straightforward and user-friendly for deploying apps.
Yeah, digital ocean has some higher tiers that can be pricey. If you want something really cheap, you might want to consider the lowest tiers or even self-hosting. You can use a VPS for under ten bucks a month!
How about Linode? I've found Digital Ocean to be affordable as well, but if you're having cost issues, you might want to check their pricing plans. AWS can be overwhelming, but it gets easier once you familiarize yourself with it.
You mentioned AWS was messy—many feel that way! It’s mainly the management panel and billing structure that confuses people. If there are specific features you're struggling with, throw them my way!
Digital Ocean is sometimes seen as expensive, but I found their clustering reasonably priced. If you’re looking for more budget-friendly solutions, hosting yourself could be the way to go. How much are you comfortable paying?
