NodeJS + MongoDB Hosting

[G1K777]

Hello,

I want a hosting that will run NodeJS and MongoDB.

I'm familiar with NodeJS but not that much with MongoDB, I've learned about MongoDB and noSQL databases but I'm not sure how it's running on a server.
To run NodeJS I need to use a SSH server to install all the stuff on it, do I need to install mongoDB also on a linux server like nodeJS?
The other thing would be, which hosting company should I use? I was looking at AWS but it might become expensive I guess?
I've read a bit about AWS and you pay for what you're using, but what if someone DDOS you and uses more that you want to? So you would pay like 400$ at the end of a month or something.
I have a DigitalOcean account and was using nodeJS on it.
Not sure which provider is best for me.

I use AWS for hosting my discord bot. You can get scaling services that grow in cost dynamically to meet demand, but those are targeted at large scale applications that would rather pay big $$$ than have service interruptions.

 

If you just get an EC2 instance you pay for the time the instance is active, whether its 0% utilization or 100%, so you have deterministic cost. A single EC2 instance of the smallest size is in the ballpark of ~5-10 dollars a month max, assuming 24/7 uptime.

I would look into using fargate and just deploy your apps in docker containers.

 

Though as you pointed out it's up 24 which is why lambda is a great idea you get like 3 million compute second free get month and when there off they are off and cost nothing.

Yes. I'd imagine when they give you a server, it's pretty much a blank slate with minimal packages installed to minimize the surface of attack.
