I'm working on a web application that uses a tech stack including React with Vite, FastAPI, Redis, Celery, and PostgreSQL. I'm aware that DigitalOcean droplets are one option for deployment, but I'm looking for other affordable alternatives. What would you recommend?

If your app doesn't have too many users, consider using Vercel for the frontend and a cheap VPS from IONOS, even their $2 plan should work for you. If you expect higher traffic, Railway might be a step up worth checking out.
Railway could be a great choice for hosting. It's user-friendly and can handle quite a bit for a reasonable price.
The most cost-effective solution could be a single VPS combined with Docker. It's a solid way to manage everything without breaking the bank! Just keep in mind that you'll need to handle data backups properly.
Have you thought about using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure? They offer a free tier that comes with 4 CPUs, 24GB of RAM, and 200GB of SSD storage. It just requires registration to get started.
Absolutely! Make sure to implement a strong backup and recovery plan if you're going this route. I suggest outsourcing PostgreSQL to a managed service, but everything else should be fine on the same machine, especially for serious projects.
