Sailing easy on Lightsail - easy setup
Rating: 10 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We used Amazon Lightsail to get a proof of concept project up running for a web application. It is very simple to set up, minimal configuration, and allows us to focus on the code. It is meant for getting started quickly, with minimal hassle but not for enterprise applications and workloads.
Pros
- Documentation
- Pay as you go
- Easy to set up
Cons
- Lack of flexibility in terms of configuration
- Customer service tiers - have to pay more for better service
- Usage not shown in obvious place
Likelihood to Recommend
Amazon Lightsail is perfect for starting up a small web application, but not for one with lots of traffic. It also offers a 3 month free trial currently for new users. It is easy to set up the server and does a lot of the management on behalf of the user.
