AWS vs DigitalOcean

# AWS CLI setup
aws configure

# Create an EC2 instance
aws ec2 run-instances \
  --image-id ami-12345678 \
  --count 1 \
  --instance-type t2.micro \
  --key-name my-key-pair

# Deploy with AWS CDK (TypeScript)
import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import * as ec2 from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-ec2';

class MyStack extends cdk.Stack {
  constructor(scope: cdk.App, id: string, props?: cdk.StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    const vpc = new ec2.Vpc(this, 'MyVpc');
    const instance = new ec2.Instance(this, 'MyInstance', {
      vpc,
      instanceType: ec2.InstanceType.of(ec2.InstanceClass.T2, ec2.InstanceSize.MICRO),
      machineImage: ec2.MachineImage.latestAmazonLinux(),
    });
  }
}

# Deploy via App Platform (doctl CLI)
doctl auth init
doctl apps create --spec .do/app.yaml

# Or launch a Droplet via API
