Hanami 1.3: deployment and hosting services

questions
1

Hi all,

I would like to ask for some advice regarding deployment and hosting services. This might also read, I’ve built my Hanami app, what do I do next? :slight_smile:

So far I’ve only deployed my first app on a client’s server in a dockerized environment. However, the hosting services world is still unfamiliar to me.

My friend and I are currently completing the next Hanami app. The stack is more or less out of the box a Hanami 1.3 app with Postgres, redis and custom UI with JS.
Our first requirement is showcasing the app. The next one would be production deployment on a hosting service.

The question here is twofold, in fact.

  1. Which hosting service plays best with Hanami, i.e. is beginner friendly.
  2. How to tackle multi-tenancy (and possibly licensing)? Can this be achieved by the hosting service or is it still not possible due to Hanami not supporting multi DBs yet?

I hope I haven’t left out any important information.

Thank you.
Sebastjan

@sebastjan_hribar Hey, if this is a new world for you, I would suggest to use Heroku, because of its simplicity.

For muti-tenancy, what do you mean exactly? At the database level, DNS host level?

(and possibly licensing)

Licensing of what? :smiley:

So I have left out some important information. :grinning: My apologies.

For multi-tenancy I’m thinking of database separation for each client in case of B2B market. I should have probably omitted the licensing here as it’s tied to the business model anyway. But still, I was thinking in terms of licensing of our app that we would need for B2B or B2C. Therefore, if any of the hosting services has this built in. I know I these might be “newbie” questions, but we have to start somewhere, right? :slight_smile:

I worked a lot with DigitalOcean due to complete control they offer with a decent simplicity.

You can have multiple dbs on the same postgres server so I don’t think it’s an issue.

Heroku is probably the easiest one to setup without any devops knowledge.

Here is a decent list of hosting providers, some applicable inly for frontend, but I believe it’s worth evaluating

Thank you for the information and the list.

Is this specific to DigitalOcean? Also, what puzzles me is, what do we have to prepare in the app itself in order to use this feature.
