Hosting and managing a self-setup kubernetes cluster has its very own up- & downsides.

We would not consider managed kubernetes because of its very high cost. So we used to run a cluster on a set of VPS-Nodes for cheap.

It gives great flexibility and full controll over all your apps and infrastructure.

But as we were mostly done experimenting and looking for reliability we swiched to Render.com. The decition was mostly driven by the cheap prices they have at the time. Alltough we are goin to switch our database to a more distributed engine like CockroachDB or PlanetscaleDB once we run into full production.

For now, their hosted-postgres offer serves us very good.

If you are already familiar with Typescript and Vuejs - this would probably be the way to go - keep it simple and stupid. I would recommend starting a Vue3 Typescript app with Vite and a basic Nodejs template. OR If you are up to date on typescript i really recomment looking into NestJs as it provides anything you would need to get started and an amazing comunity!
