I'm not a DigitalOcean shill or employee, I'm just curious what I'm missing from a "what do other competitors out there offer".
I always thought it was like... spinup Debian/Ubuntu VPS, ssh to it, install Docker, run docker-compose or Docker Swarm or... Terraform?
If you scroll down a little there's a section titled "Out-of-the-box features" that answers your question. I think the edge functions would be the hardest thing to do on your own.
Hooking up some kind of CI/CD to GitHub through webhooks
> storing secret keys
Built into GitHub (or an instance of Hashicorp Vault which can be hosted for free)
> to monitoring
Can run your own Grafana/Promtheus
Obviously there's a cost running all of this yourself as opposed to just paying them to do it. Just making sure I wasn't missing something obvious tradeoff wise between "our company would rather pay somebody to manage all of this for us"
