I'm about to release my first .net core API solution (that relies on multiple separate projects under the solution if that matters) with an SQL database. I've never released anything before and could use some advice.

I want to use a cloud solution like aws or azure - any guidance please? I'm trying to find as decent a solution as possible for free, or next to free, as right now it's just a first stage release with next to no features.

Thanks

PS it also uses Hangfire. I really don't know enough to know if that's a factor.

    @desirous I looked at their pricing and it doesn't seem right by it looks like their cheapest is £70 a month. That's about £70 a month more than I want to pay :D

    @desirous It doesn't sound believable

    Okay, I was in the exact same position as you and I found a nice way: use Docker.
    Containerization makes you completely independant from your cloud hoster. F.e. just spin up a droplet at Digitalocean, install docker, pull your image and you're ready to go ^^
    And btw if you have the Github Student Pack you get 50$ Digitalocean credit for free (same for other providers like Azure, aws and google cloud)

    PS: If you have a serious project you can apply for Microsoft BizSpark and get 130€ Azure credit PER MONTH for free ^^

    @julkali I guess I could - I was going to avoid docker because it seems like too much to learn well in one go.

    @craig939393 yeah but it's worth it! Also, VS has a built in Docker feature that helps you. I have to say, though, that I struggled a bit till I set it up properly but now it works like a charm. Debugging, Build, Push, everything runs smooth as a baby bottom ^^

    @julkali thanks for the offer but I don't want to take your time up for no benefit to you. YouTube videos to the rescue!

    Side note an aws ec2 instance looks like about 30-50 pence a month
