Shipmate lets developers fall in love with Google's managed cloud services by handing all configuration on your behalf.
Most businesses that start on Heroku or their own servers end up moving to a managed cloud service like Google Cloud.
Your own VPS or Kubernetes cluster on DigitalOcean, AWS, Linode, etc.
Hosting complexity
Can your servers handle fluctuations in traffic? Are your servers protected against security breaches?
