Simplicity. As a solo dev I find AWS and GCP to be a nightmare. I do t have time to learn either interface, and not doing so is dangerous as not knowing the inner workings can have security or reliability consequences. Just look at all the exposed S3 buckets over the years.
Just picking a VPS from Amazon is an absolute nightmare. All the different levels, with the credit bullshit.
DO I can log in, pick a VPS with the specs I need and be done with it. I don’t need to worry about over using it and running out of credits and being throttled and having that to troubleshoot.
DO has been reliable for me, affordable, and incredibly easy to understand and use.
