How do you deploy a MEEN stack webapp as opposed to a MEAN one?

Question

I created a simple portfolio website using mongo, express, ember, node, sass, and bootstrap. So far I have a local mongo instance running and my local ember production version working fine on my laptop but I have no idea how to make my site available online.

I've been searching and there's lots of tutorials of how to deploy a MEAN stack app, but not a MEEN stack app.

So, what are the differences between these two stacks in deployment steps?

I was thinking of deploying to either amazon web services, digital ocean (both which I have student pack discounts for), or GoDaddy (which I have a free domain name from). Which should I choose (from deployment possibility standpoint) and what steps do I take to deploy it from its current state (production mode)?

Answer 1

I have used all three providers. I would recommend digital ocean's one click deploy droplets if you want to hit the ground running quickly. Digital Ocean's community has tutorials for nearly all basic use cases you'd want to emulate when deploying an application.
