Best deployment choice? :(

DigitalOcean - Unfortunately I haven’t had any success with the installation yet. I have a question about this: If I use the one-click variant, how do I proceed so that I can merge my existing project into the new DigitalOcean Strapi project?

The one click is really geared for rapid testing, if you already have an existing project it’s probably best to setup the VPS manually.

Heroku - very simple, but the database (ClearDB) is too expensive in the long term.

ClearDB isn’t actually one we support, Heroku offers PG and there is also a 3rd party add-on for MariaDB from Jaws. (But I agree it’s not a good choice)

@mingxi

V-Server (Windows) - unstable, sometimes very slow

Yeah windows performance in production will be quite slow.
