Hi. I’m developing a php (8.3.x) /mySql solution accessing Binance blockchain and allowing credit card payments (via Stripe). I need to install some standard libraries like “stripe/stripe-php”: “^16.4”, “phpmailer/phpmailer”: “^6.9”, “web3p/web3.php”: “^0.1.4”, “web3p/ethereum-tx”: “^0.4.3”, “kornrunner/keccak”: “^1.1”, “florianv/swap”: “^4.3”, “symfony/cache”: “^7.2”, “florianv/exchanger”: “^2.8”

which DigitalOcean hosting solution I have to subscribe ?

Thanks for any advise

Hey! 👋

For hosting your PHP 8.3 app with MySQL and Binance blockchain access on DigitalOcean there are two main options:

✅ Use a Droplet for full control & flexibility:

Spin up a LEMP stack (Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP) for full customization: 🔗 DigitalOcean LEMP Droplet

✅ Use the App Platform for managed & easy deployments:

If you prefer a more hands off approach with automatic scaling, you can use DigitalOcean App Platform: 🔗 PHP Buildpacks on App Platform

✅ Managed Database (Optional, for MySQL)L

If you don’t want to manage MySQL yourself, a DigitalOcean Managed Database can help: 🔗 Managed MySQL Database

If you need more control (custom PHP modules, blockchain dependencies, etc.), go with a Droplet. If you want an easier deployment, App Platform is worth considering.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Heya,

The best way forward would be to get a Droplet from the marketplace with preconfigured packages so that you can immediately start using it without having to manually install them. Check the MarketPlace.

As already mentioned this would be a good fit for you - https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/lemp

The LEMP stack consists of open-source software to get web servers up and running. Available as a one-click install, get NGINX, MySQL, and PHP-FPM installed on your Droplet in less than a minute.
