Hi @sharsh2106,

If it was me, I’ll deploy it directly using Nginx. For me, it’s straightforward and easier to deploy that way not to mention how easier it is to troubleshoot any issues that might arise.

Now, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it with a Docker image, on theory it should be faster to deploy that way but this is rarely the case.

As for the droplets and their setup, I believe what you’ve decided to use is pretty good and should stick to it!

All in all, you should use the most convenient method for you, in the end the outcome is the same.

  Hi @sharsh2106,
  
  I’ll start with one server for MongoDB and another for Backend+Frontend. In the future if you need to change it a bit, you can always add another droplet for backend only.
  
  As for the updates, If you are using a droplet created by yourself, it should be a straightforward edin, you can even use FTP. If you are using the App Platform, you can checkthe following Docs for more information:
