I am developing a Rails app and its near completion.
Initially I thought of going for PaaS provider Heruko, but seems there isn't 'free' service anymore and I would have pay minimum $7pm for it. Also, there's a limit of database rows - 10K.
Next, I recently came across this IaaS provider Scaleway, which seems very cheap.
But I am not sure how much extra work(or headache) it'd be on IaaS to host and manage something.
1. How/what about the security management of the server ? (on the app side I did as much as I can to prevent probable attacks. )
2. It's being IaaS, I can install any DB(MySQL, Postgre) and can have unlimited activity right ?
3. Back ups? Can it be scheduled to send periodic DB backup to say dropbox/SkyDrive/gDrive etc?
I am not worrying much about scalability/concurrency at this moment, as I am not sure how many people would use it besides me
.
I am well versed in Linux/unix but never work on server setup/manage things.
Any kind info or pointer would be much appreciated.
TIA.
ps: It's a hobby project I made while learning RoR.
