Hi there,
I’ve been running a Laravel SaaS app on DigitalOcean’s App Platform for a while now, and it’s been solid!
The auto-scaling handles traffic spikes without me having to worry about provisioning servers manually and the auto deploy on push saves a bunch of time.
For the backend, I’m using:
Everything works smoothly together, and I don’t have to deal with server maintenance. If your app is high-traffic, make sure to tweak your resource limits and enable auto-scaling 👉 Docs
It’s a great setup if you want something that just works without managing a full Kubernetes setup.
