Great list. Would like to see some self-hosted options here and not SaaS. Can I recommend cloudron.io? Just run it off a Digital Ocean or Linode server and you get all apps in https://cloudron.io/store/index.html (Mattermost, Nextcloud, Gitlab, Mailtrain, Ghost to name a few). Obviously, you still need a CDN and Domain but Lets Encrypt integration is built-in.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Self-hosting is a more advanced area (I would imagine large companies deciding to self-host, mainly for the privacy reasons, but not single developers), so it's out of the scope of DeployStack for now (I'm trying to focus on tools that would be more useful to single developers, start-ups). However, it could be a nice section for a page covering more advanced topics, so I will take a note of it for the future. Thanks!
Does self-hosting make sense for startups/products that are launching? Curious to know if there are start ups out there who value self-hosting from the get go.
