what is better?

  • deploy to DO apps and store the files in DO Spaces
  • deploy to DO Droplets

In my opinion it is easier to choose the first one?

There are trade-offs to each.

For #1. It would make deployments much easier. Having used DO's app platform a lot recently, I've been very impressed.

  • Easier deployment (via app spec)
  • Easier Domain/URLs
  • Compute upgrades
  • Initial CI configuration (though, this is probably a + long-term once configured)

For #2. If you're used to deploying on a linux machine, this is probably most comfortable.

  • Full control over everything on the machine
  • Payload file storage works out of the box
  • No external file access
  • Firewall config
  • NGINX config
