Azure or AWS ?

[Tom Glod]

Though Appwrite is something you would put on top of aws or azure, or
digital ocean. But they also have very affortable managed cloud service
that saves u from doing the provisioning .......
So its not exactly the answer to your question, but appwrite is amazing and
i tell everyone about it.
