Hi guys.
I’m new to deployment of a server and digital ocean. I want to create an API Server that use go language and also want to create a database server using MySQL.
My question is :
- Can I deploy a Go Application + MySQL database into a single droplet ? Or must I use DigitalOcean Managed MySQL Database for the database ?
- What did I need to deploy a go API to digital ocean ? Is I only need to upload my binary go file to deploy it ? Or also need docker or something else like that ?
Thankyou.

Hello @dickywijayaa,
You can follow the steps here on how to deploy a Go Web application with Nginx:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-deploy-a-go-web-application-using-nginx-on-ubuntu-18-04
By using Nginx, you will then be able to secure your web application by adding an SSL certificate, you can take a look at this tutorial here:

Regarding your MySQL question, you can install MySQL directly on your Droplet, I would recommend enabling backups for your Droplet so that if anything goes wrong, you would be able to restore to an older backup.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
