Reliable, easy and very cheap to use compared to AWS. I've been using Digital Ocean for a lot of years now. Probably more or less a decade already.

I used this for extracting information from job posts and calculating a work-life balance / calm score. OpenAI API for using GPT-4 is very easy to use.

It's already a mature web framework so if I need to implement feature X, usually there's already a gem for it which I just need to install and configure.
