Hosting
I'm currently working on a freelance project with 2 of my friends. It's our first big project, though, and we have no idea how we'd host it. We'll be using Next.js for the frontend and Express for the backend along with Socket.io for real-time features. I've some experience with Docker and Linux, so I can probably configure a VPS to host it on, but I don't know which provider I should go to. I heard about AWS, Azure, Hostinger, Cloudflare, etc. How do I know which one is the right choice? What variables should I consider, and how can I decide what VPS to buy based on them? Like, how many resources do I need? How do I handle file storage? lots of questions, and I'd appreciate it if someone helped me out. ty yall :aa_blackheartt:

I'm lost and I don't know what should be my next steps
I've been learning web dev for a year now I started exactly 1 years ago.
I've learned a lot thankfully and at the beginning I was really lost just like I'm now.
but the difference is I thought I was alone and I had to figure out everything on my own but now I recognize that communities like this one exists and I can ask for help.
anyways as I mentioned I've learned a lot about web dev the past year especially front end up to being comfortable using nextjs to build any app that has a crud and auth in it.
back to the main point which is I'm currently lost I've tried to build something slightly advanced I guess like a zoom clone has has meetings and stuff but I couldn't I got overwhelmed by WebRTC and Web sockets which I wasn't exposed to before this project and when I look at someone like theo and the stuff he's building like t3 chat or sth I really get inspired like how is he like that I wanna be like him I think he's really cool but I just don't know how to get there.
TLDR I want to be an exceptional web developer but I don't know how to get there all I know is how to create an app that has crud ops and auth in it so if anyone knows how to get there please help me out I'm really lost
