warning

Cons

  • error
    Requires managing the underlying Linux VPS: OS security patches, disk volume cleanup, and automated backups are your responsibility
  • error
    No managed serverless autoscaling across multiple regions out of the box; scaling requires vertical VPS upgrades or manual clustering
  • error
    Software management is separate from server costs: you must purchase a VPS independently
