I am in the late stage of developing application using Firebase, Google App Engine and some Compute for my application backend, primarily because it is less pain than managing own servers. But the post yesterday "Firebase Costs Increased by 7,000%!"[1] made me rethink my decision as I can not afford any surprise bills now. So the cheaper alternative would be to use Digital Ocean, but is it production ready and if anyone using it successfully for running a large production app ?
