[SOLVED] gitpod stopping

I realized after awhile gitpod session will end and I'll need to reinitiate the process. How do I make it stay live?

TL;DR

TL;DR: User asks for cheapest and reliable server provider for Gitpod. Recommended options are DigitalOcean, Vultr, and AWS. Gitpod is not meant for production and DigitalOcean provides 1-click droplets for Appwrite. Solution is to use DigitalOcean for hosting a stable server for Appwrite. Gitpod sessions have a time limit and need to be reinitiated.

Hey there 👋 I don't think Gitpod provide option for long-running servers. Gitpod is a development environment in cloud and it should not be used for production.

What you can do is to use Digital Ocean and it's 1 click droplets for Appwrite: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/appwrite

Digital Ocean charges per every hour your server runs, and is meant to be used for hosting your production server. I believe they charge around 10$/month for a stable server where we seen other developers serve as high as 1M requests in month and 200k users with no issues.

You are also free to host Appwrite on any other server provider such as Vultr, Google Cloud, AWS or some provider from your country. I usually recommend Digital Ocean because of it's integration and how easy it is to get Appwrite running on it.

Okay, I do appreciate you

but which of them is the cheapest and still reliable in service? @Meldiron

I would say Vultr or DigitalOcean are both a good balance between price and quality.

You could also check out Appwrite Cloud and register interest here: https://appwrite.io/cloud If you get picked for private beta, you would have Appwrite running in cloud for free, managed by us.
