Yeap, not much more to add than what Sven said. What's important to mention is that they are really stable. I've been running Pharo servers in DO droplets of all sizes, without issues (some running for months), I only had to upscale one droplet to more memory, and it was because of a leak I introduced with PGSQL connections, otherwise, they're pretty lightweight for today's standards and a normal workload.
I have deployments with nginx and Pharo images as upstreams, and I have one with Docker swarm and Traefik doing the load balancing among different Pharo workers and acting as the HTTPS endpoint. I'm removing this option though and moving back to nginx only. What I never tried was to host a docker container running Pharo, in some Docker hosting. It might be the best option as a quick start, but after doing the math, it's always more expensive than a Droplet. Best regards, Esteban A.
