DigitalOcean vs GitHub: Which is best for you?

For me student like specializing in Computer science have most hands on practical development with Web application for both university study projects and real world projects.

I feel there service has gone too much towards AI and is no longer just about simple virtual servers, this means there is a big learning curve now

I'd used AWS previously for CI/CD and found the Github actions were far easier to set up and they provide a reasonable amount of processor minutes per month for free which I haven't yet breached so it's a free service there too!

Alot of the intergrations cot more money, which is a shame. And it seems some basic features such as branch locking as hidden behind a paywall now.
