How
Example
Common Problems
- ⚠No managed databases — self-manage or use external
- ⚠Limited PaaS features — use with Docker/K8s
- ⚠Configuration drift between environments — use infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/Pulumi) to keep dev/staging/prod identical
Best Practices
- ✓Use SSD for database workloads
- ✓Set up monitoring with external tools
- ✓Set up health checks and graceful shutdown — handle SIGTERM to drain in-flight requests before exit

When should I NOT choose Kamatera?
Pick something else in three cases: (1) the team has zero experience with the core framework and the deadline is tight (learning-curve risk); (2) it's a pure content/marketing site (Astro is lighter); (3) you need very high throughput (>10k RPS) or strict-consistency microservices (Go/Rust). Kamatera shines for mid-to-high complexity full-stack and API work — don't over-engineer simple static pages with it.
