I'll wait for Appwrite Cloud, perhaps for more information on available space

TL;DR
The person is asking for help with storage on DigitalOcean. They discuss the use of functions to calculate and update balances in a bank account collection. The suggestion is made to enable graphics on the DigitalOcean panel to determine if more resources are needed. It is advised to use at least 2GB of RAM. They also inquire if the chosen plan is enough for an online shop with 2000 users. The person asks about additional administration setups and receives guidance from someone with an instance in production at DigitalOcean. There is a suggestion for a step-by-step guide for using Appwrite and DigitalOcean as well as a cost-benefit analysis.

I'm using cloud.appwrite. I know that it is possible to use other storages in the self-hosted one, but in the cloud I couldn't find how to put the keys.

in the cloud they still haven't released a way to connect external storage as well as GraphQL is not yet available, I think it's just a matter of time

i use appwrite because maybe it's a savings for my flutter app as far as storage compared to firebase

this is very true, in firebase just reading/writing already pays a vps

I meant that in addition to reducing Storage costs, I hope it will also reduce Firestore costs

Undoubtedly, a vps has its advantages, mainly the fixed cost

Someone should make a step by step guide for using Appwrite and DigitalOcean. At the end also a cost-benefit analysis

I created my instance on DigitalOcean and by IP I logged in and created a project, I have to configure other administration level?

I also wanted to ask if in your opinion this plan I have chosen is enough for an online shop of 2000 users...

1gb of ram is too little. Put at least 2gb

does it have many cloud functions?

enable graphics on the digital ocean panel, I found it a good starting point to know if you will need more resources

oh okay thanks a lot, anyway no I don't use functions, also because I don't know for what 😅🤦

I'll give you a practical example of how appwrite cloud functions can help you

think your app has a bank account bank account can have multiple entries and multiple exits How to display in the app what is the balance? Here the functions will help you. You can trigger a function so that every time a record is inserted into the "bank account records" collection. It is this function that will be responsible for calculating and updating the balance.

Another use case. Imagine that every time you create a record in the bank account collection, you want to send a notification. There are many possibilities, it all depends on your business rule.
