Notes here that are blocking us from using App Platform.
We use high memory droplets and in current Professional pricing; a) Comparing to Droplets, 16 GiB Ram is significantly more expensive. It’d be great if we could just select a droplet and pay the price times some multiplier for the management. b) There isn’t an option with more than 16 GB Ram. We would need more options like it’s here https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/ c) 100 GiB Outbound transfer (even if CDN cache is there) is not sufficient for us and would increase our costs by 5-10x by itself. A better pricing model would be appreciated.
The biggest bottleneck is item c.
Hope this feedback would make App Platform a more viable option for production systems.
Thanks
