Nobody mentioned it, but I'm using Vagrant and the digital_ocean plug-in to manage local VMs and droplets for my small projects, it's a simple, quick and convenient way to bring up fully replicable apps/services. I'm using small scripts to provision my machines with Caddy, PHP7, MySQL, and a few other goodies. Given available droplet sizes, I'm not hard pressed to scale beyond a single machine per app/service, and this keeps everything simple; otherwise I'd probably go with Kubernetes.
