Ask HN: Solo Dev(Op)s, how do you deploy webapps in 2021?

I'm a solo dev focusing on webapps (python/nodejs/go). In the past, I've been deploying for production on Linux VMs (Hetzner) or AWS Elastic Beanstalk for small to medium audiences.

For an upcoming project, I'm looking for a hosting solution that would ideally tick the following boxes

- managed (server)

- (GitHub) CI/CD integration with push to deploy

- zero downtime deployments

- Docker containers, maybe multi container apps

- reasonably priced

I've been looking into Digital Ocean's app platform and render.com mainly, but of course the omnipresent AWS is also on the list.

What are you using to deploy (small/medium) webapps in 2021 as a solo dev?
