Hi @jadayash,
Both are considered a good solutions for production. This means it’s entirely up to you and your preferences.
If you choose a Droplet, you have a lot more control on what’s going on on the Droplet, you can configure some specific setup that can’t be done on the App Platform. Having said that, you need to manage the Droplet as well as your App with a Droplet.
If you choose the App Platform, you’ll have everything taken care for you except your code. You’ll be in charge only for the deployment of your code and nothing else. However you won’t have that much control on what’s going on behind the scenes.
It has been nearly a year. Which did you choose?
For anyone else with this question, I am a beginner but I say that if someone does not know what to choose then they likely need to choose the App route. Try a Droplet only if you are experienced installing and maintaining all the software you will use, including securing the Droplet. If you have time to learn and want to learn then a Droplet might be good.
