Sorry, should've been more specific - looking for the same sort of 'provide a container and we take care of everything else' experience, but ideally for a cheaper price. I know I could get a micro instance and set up ECS on it, but it just seems like such a royal PITA...

Also like how my deploy script is basically 'build image; push image; aws ecs update-service'.

With my side projects that are running on a droplet, it feels like there's an incredible amount of additional setup that I need to do every time I add an additional project. Add the new site to the reverse proxy, setup a git server I can push to, set up post-receive hooks for the server, etc., etc.

I would look into the first option, Digital ocean's droplets.

You deploy a docker container and they handle the rest

How do you do that? I only know the traditional "install OS and handle devops yourself" model.

Having said that, I got a cheap and rather beefy server on Hetzner and installed Dokku on it, and I couldn't be more satisfied. It's like having my own Heroku for my low-traffic side-projects, almost for free.
