Cloud

Cloud is all hype, isn't it ? Well, yes and no. If you have a large application to deploy then cloud is a right choice. But mind you, a small application can also be a multi-million dollar application. Net worth of of an application is not necessarily proportional to cost incurred to deployment. So don't assume you need cloud if your intention is to rake in $$$ of revenue. A site with 10,000 unique hits can easily be deployed on a decent hosting provider on a single server that is not cloud like Azure, AWS or Google Cloud.

We recommend cloud if only you really need it and your application ready needs to scale in very super short span of time. While we are not cloud-agnostic, we have the manpower to leverage the skillsets of Azure and Google Cloud for large enterprises and DigitalOcean for small and medium counterparts.

Even though the above is specific to deployment of servers, all Cloud providers provide many more other services like Gen AI and databases, containerization etc which comes at a premium cost when compared to the other non giant hosting companies. Take for example, databases - a MySQL or Postgres database is normally included in a $25 / month VPS but a dedeicated MySQL or Postgres instnace at Google Cloud or Azure would cost $100 a month minimum. And the same at DigitalOcean starts at $15 a month. This is due to the differences in dedicated databases services such as regular daily backups, minimum storage space of 10/20GB, 99.99% SQL etc vs the shared database features provided by the regular hosting companies which are at a greater risk in case of a database crash. Hence at DigiVrat we insist on a dedicated database setup on cloud even if the main application doesn't necessarily warrant a cloud server.

Then we make use of as-it-fits model of using GenAI - either Open AI model of Azure or Gemini 2.0 or Gen AI from DigitalOcean. Some other services like serverless - App Platform on DigitalOcean, Google App Engine and Azure Web Apps are some of our favourites.
