Best services for solo developers
Hey everyone, I created a blog post mentioning what I've found to be the best services for solo developers (mainly what I use).
Let me know what you all think :D My main goal was to reduce the decision-making process so you can focus more on development.

I do not see a mention of a service like heroku or netlify. What do you think about those?
Ah, Netlify is definitely something I should add. For small applications though, I'm not too worried about CDNs too much but definitely for applications that I'd be expecting more users.
As for heroku, when developing multiple apps Heroku can get quite expensive. For the 500mb instance it costs $7 vs the smallest instance on lightsail which is $3.50. I normally have multiple docker containers on a small Lightsail instance.
GitLab + S3 + Cloudfront is a pretty handy for auto-deploying simple websites on changes (think Hugo/Pelican/Jekyll).
Adding to your list ;)
Thanks for taking the time to share this it looks like a good reference point, as @JanBrus has mentioned there are so many different services out there you can't use them all!
No problem. Yeah there's loads. I needed to just keep the list as small as possible. There's definitely alternatives but this is just what I use
