How should I structure a Full stack app with the vue front-end, express for backend server and mongodb for database on digital ocean?

Hello,

Just came across this question and wanted to suggest a few things for anyone who comes across this in the future:

• Initially if you are not expecting a lot of traffic you could deploy all of the services on a single Droplet and then scale up as needed
• Also DigitalOcean now offers Managed MongoDB databases, so if you have to scale you could easily do that with the Managed clusters:
