Hi friends I am new to this community and in Django backend developer. We are developing webapp using Django and React. Can you guys suggest me which is best hosting platform for webapp and also database?
I see it’s been a while since you’ve posted, but I just wanted to ask if anyone here has recently tried Railway for hosting a Django and React setup? I’ve been testing it and the deployment flow feels super smooth. Curious how well it handles production loads long term compared to something like Fly.io or Render. Anyone have updated experiences with these platforms?
I split frontend and backend into separate apps, then served the React build files as static files from Django. Keeping them separate made debugging stuff way easier down the line.
I ended up going with rdp hosting (https://ishosting.com/en/vps/rdp) because I wanted more control over the environment and easier handling of background tasks like Celery. It took a bit more setup, but I could configure the server the way I wanted and not worry about hitting platform limitations or weird buildpack issues with React builds. Been pretty stable for me so far.
AWS or any cloud platform with a managed Serverless Postgres is the best. If you are building production ready real business applications then never use services like render or vercel. They have their extra over heads.
