Hi,
I’m designing out backend for hellodebug.com. We run on top of CoreOS, and are based on docker/golang for our container image.
I love the simplicity of DigitalOcean, but I wonder if it’s a wise choice to reply upon it for building a scalable, highly available service environment?
Comparing this, to I’d guess AWS where I can have machines go in and out of ELB.
Would appreciate a discussion.

I saw this today and wanted to follow up. Since this comment was posted we have scaled up our customer success team who focus on working with larger ($1k+/month) clients. Among other things they are able to work with users on alternative payment arrangements including bank transfers. Also in the time since this was posted we have had a major focus on reducing error rates across our entire infrastructure and you should not see any higher rates of node failure than with other providers.
