  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

  That menas you advise me the first option with DO apps and the file storage via DO spaces and maybe the database on DO Databases?

  I would lean toward the first option, yes. However, I didn't mention anything about databases. The droplet could have your DB and cost nothing extra.

  
  
  

  With App Platform, you'd likely need to spend more money. Would have to use a DO database (kind of pricey) or use MongoDB Atlas. The latter has a free tier, though.
