ideally I want to keep it running forever - so it need to be cheap enough
this is a good point, although does not provide large hard drive with cheaper price - I might need to mix it with other solution.

I need to hire a linux dev server so that I have a consistent setup although I might need to use multiple machines for my personal project - I know there is plenty cloud solution like Digital Ocean but I am concern about whether their spec is being too low - it should really faster than my Macbook. is there any affordable but efficient solution out there? thanks
is there someone who can share some hints?
no one has any view on this?

I tried to googling myself but look like there are too much noise there - is there anyone has any good experience in outsourcing SEO or a guide available somewhere? thanks

basically we are company that link between service provider and consumer, we take deposit (15% of full amount) from consumer (paid by credit card) and if the deal is done, consumer pay the remaining fund and we take a spread ultimately pay the rest to the service provider. so there is a lot of transactions, what is the best (cost-effective) solution available to startup? or is there a smarter...
it has been 2 years since the feedback was given, so they should have been in the language if the elixir guy agree on what Joe said
you mean the RDS and VPS from AWS? yes, this is one of the options, I was just curious about how those DO/Linode users host their database
so, can interpret above as: most DO/linode people host their database in the VM (either separate machine or the same one)? I asked this question because I need to evaluate whether it is feasible to use DO/Linode instead of AWS with the current man power in the team (managing database can take a lot of efforts, unless you disagree?)
I think there can be a thousand valid (good) reason for them to lower the price, and it is good news for most people unless scaleway raise the price back once they gain more users. (if they do this, I wont use it again)
C1 is probably not an extremely performant machine, so what is the preferred solution for database hosting? I guess the latency will be too high if we host the database remotely i.e. outside Scaleway but the C1 instance might be not good enough to host a database which is normally the main bottleneck?

I know all the cloud big names e.g. aws/azure provide managed SQL or noSQL service so that their VM user can access the database with relatively low latency although they are not necessarily be running on the exact same machine (but at least there is option we can host in the same data centre). But how are those DigitalOcean/Linode users hosting their database? it is possible we can run mysql...

just out of interest, I know that Elixir is kind of bringing in a lot of 'nice Ruby features' to the language, but how does the Erlang's opinion on this? what is the main reason stopping you moving to Elixir for new project if it is not worse than Erlang? thanks
I expect we dont need too many senior dev - thats why I want to have an environment that junior dev can pick up quickly. is there any reason you want to run c# on linux instead of windows? is it mainly cost of software or the limitation of SQL server/IIS and etc?
also, I have the same bias - to avoid any JVM base - as well, I dont know why I have this preference, might to do with my bad impression (slow) with Java back in the 90s. do you have any concrete reason to avoid JVM ?
I agree we should go with something we are already familiar with but I come from c++ background and I dont think it is the best language/ecosystem for a team that only have 1 developer. I am a senior developer (c++ as I mentioned) so I think it is not an issue for me to pick up a new language but it is more an issue with finding/training new developer when we need to - I agree senior experienced developer is generally more expensive (or too expensive for early stage startup), so hiring a couple of junior dev sound more efficient but I cannot afford spending months to train them to help them to be helpful, and I feel it is easier to be productive in a .Net environment as Visual Studio is just easy for anyone to pickup.
we have some cost efficient way to get license on Microsoft's software like Windows/SQL Server so the cost on software is not an issue, so is there any other concern with Windows-based solution? you mentioned scalability, why this can be an concern? (I assume windows should be able to do whatever linux is able to provide?)

I know golang is getting a lot of hype (with nice features) and it is growing fast but I fear the pros of using golang in a startup might be as obvious as using a much more mature languages like c# in a well supported .net framework and azure eco-system? in particular (I assume) it is much easier to find .Net developers when you need to grow the team?if we can, lets please assume we know c# as...
