Thanks for sharing this awesome content piece with us. I think digitalOcean is an awesome host and to build an ecommerce store coupled with digitalOcean sounds perfect to me. I have been using DigitalOcean server for Magento hosting. Although, I opted for the managed digitalOcean server with the third party host named Cloudways. Instead of the conventional digitalOcean server and it’s been working great to me.
Thanks, Austin for the webinar. It was resourceful and gets the job done. The company I am working in using DigitalOcean as our hosting solution for almost every E-commerce projects and it is actually a breeze to create a new droplet and deploy the application. I haven’t yet tried the Load Balancer and other infrastructure you have taught but I would like to try it out for scaling the web app. Thank you for the webinar!
