Looking for VPS Recommendations for an IoT Project!

Questions
1

Hey everyone,

I’m working on an IoT project where a STM32 microcontroller + 4G module will send battery data to a server. I need a VPS (Virtual Private Server) to:
-Host Node-RED for data processing

  • Store data in a PostgreSQL database
  • Visualize data using Grafana
  • Securely handle MQTT communication

Key requirements:

-Reliable & cost-effective (budget-friendly but scalable)
-Good performance for handling real-time data
-Secure (supports SSL, firewall configurations, etc.)

What VPS providers do you recommend for this use case? Would love to hear about your experiences with different platforms .
Thanks in advance for your insights!

Hi, AWS (and i’m sure other cloud providers as well) have a whole eco-system for IoT type of applications. I think it would be more interesting to use these than to re-invent the wheel (and surely end up paying more).

Hello @rima Welcome to n8n :n8n: community :tada:

If this is your first time, be sure to take advantage of the free tier and credits offered by major providers such as AWS, GCP, OCI, Azure, etc…

I suggest testing them out to decide which one works best for you.
