How do you host your production rails app?

I've been using AWS ECS (and adjacent services) and it was a bit of a learning curve/time pit even though I'm fairly familiar with AWS. But I also dug a little into the search traffic for this topic (hosting rails on aws) and it seems like almost no one is searching for information about this. I like the idea of Heroku but it also seems like the pricing is significantly higher so I veered away from it. Is hosting on the larger generic cloud service providers something that people do? How do you host your rails application for real traffic serving applications?

      Thanks Igor! Good to know, I've heard very similar from others. For those finding this and are curious also asked this on Reddit

    We're using render.com and it's working quite well. I've also heard good things about fly.io, especially since Rails is getting a Dockerfile -- https://fly.io/ruby-dispatch/rails-on-docker/
