VPS vs PaaS: which should I choose?
A VPS (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr) gives you a full server at the lowest price per GB of RAM. A PaaS (Render, Railway, Fly.io) costs more per resource but handles deploys, scaling and TLS for you. Pick a VPS if you can manage Linux, a PaaS if your time is the scarcer resource.
