Running Strapi on DockHive
Smallest size
Strapi needs at least a Micro HivePod (about $2 a month if it runs all the time). Smaller sizes can't be picked for it. It is billed by the hour while it runs, from your plan's included vCPU-hours first, and a stopped pod costs nothing.
Its database is included
Strapi comes with PostgreSQL inside the same HivePod, set up for you with its own generated password. Only the app can reach it, and you pay for the pod's size only.
Its own HTTPS address
Strapi gets its own HTTPS address as soon as it's running. You can also serve it on your own domain: add the domain to the pod and the certificate is issued automatically.
Your data and backups
Strapi's data stays on the pod's disk and survives restarts. HivePod backups include all of it, and restoring a backup brings back the same app with the same data.
