Chose DigitalOcean Droplets
Vultr had better performance in some instances but overall the dashboard was a mess to use a lot of times. When you zoom out from server performance and price, DigitalOcean offered more useful features, and the API was more consistent in some of the use cases we needed.

There are some other platforms that compete with DigitalOcean Droplets that have more performant servers for a very minimal price decrease. However, DigitalOcean's servers still have great performance, and the experience is better when you consider the developer console, managed options, and uptime that DigitalOcean offers. DigitalOcean is the better all-around package.

Tencent Storage is highly recommendable to any company that requires a total solution to any challenges with data storage. It is flexible to deploy and work with this platform with high-performance services that cater to all our file storage needs. Our teams find it easy to customize this platform to offer various workload disks that can be secured separately with passwords.
