ideally I want to keep it running forever - so it need to be cheap enough

this is a good point, although does not provide large hard drive with cheaper price - I might need to mix it with other solution.

is there someone who can share some hints?

no one has any view on this?

it has been 2 years since the feedback was given, so they should have been in the language if the elixir guy agree on what Joe said

you mean the RDS and VPS from AWS? yes, this is one of the options, I was just curious about how those DO/Linode users host their database

so, can interpret above as: most DO/linode people host their database in the VM (either separate machine or the same one)? I asked this question because I need to evaluate whether it is feasible to use DO/Linode instead of AWS with the current man power in the team (managing database can take a lot of efforts, unless you disagree?)

I think there can be a thousand valid (good) reason for them to lower the price, and it is good news for most people unless scaleway raise the price back once they gain more users. (if they do this, I wont use it again)

C1 is probably not an extremely performant machine, so what is the preferred solution for database hosting? I guess the latency will be too high if we host the database remotely i.e. outside Scaleway but the C1 instance might be not good enough to host a database which is normally the main bottleneck?

I expect we dont need too many senior dev - thats why I want to have an environment that junior dev can pick up quickly. is there any reason you want to run c# on linux instead of windows? is it mainly cost of software or the limitation of SQL server/IIS and etc?
