Curious how everyone handles hosting multiple side projects and apps? I have a few small apps with different frontend and backend stacks, and I've found it surprisingly difficult to deploy and host them without paying ~$5/mo per app. The monthly overhead starts to add up with 5 or 10+ apps, factoring in domain costs etc.
Lately I've been using an AWS Lightsail instance with an nginx reverse proxy and Let's Encrypt for managing the SSL certs for each domain. I've been able to run a few apps on a single instance for ~$5/mo. It takes a bit of time to setup each new app, but overall hasn't been terrible. Would love to find an easier way though so I don't need to keep updating my own nginx config.
How are y'all hosting your apps? Should I stop being cheap and just use Heroku? Let me know
