Likelihood to Recommend

Vultr is well suited for simple cloud architectures where you are more comfortable "rolling your own" components for more complex needs. It avoids the overcomplexity of other major cloud providers while offering a more cost-effective solution. It may not be well suited for architectures that require more turn-key services such as batch processing, message buses, or advanced security and monitoring.
