I use Amazon Lightsail when a client or company requests hosting for a WordPress website. It is suitable for LightSuite deployments and offers easy deployment of applications quickly.
I am providing freelancer services and consultancy to multiple clients. I create environments and setups, including development and production lines, primarily using Amazon Lightsail for startup business scenarios. It is affordable, and we utilize services according to customer requirements, deploying solutions like websites and databases on a budget-friendly scale.

We are a company based in Ireland, and we are AWS partners. We have built some solutions for AWS, and we have developed a WordPress plugin that we use to migrate websites from any hosting site to AWS. We specifically create Lightsail instances using that plugin. When the website is migrated, it is migrated to a Lightsail instance.

The use case mainly was to deploy a database that there was no option for the platform as a service. It is a database based on a graph, the name is Neo4j. So in AWS, I didn't find the RDS of this database. So I had to create a virtual machine in Lightsail and deploy the Neo4j database on it. I did it for the test and production environment, and then it allowed me to create firewall rules and a lot of management networks, but they are pretty simplified. It's not like EC2 where you can have all of those virtual interfaces and virtual networks. It's more like an instance that is standalone. But at least for these small purposes, it attended very well.
Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) is a kind of cloud computing service in which, rather than having to build and maintain their own infrastructure, a client is able to develop, run, and manage applications on a platform that is provided by a third-party provider. The provider hosts both software and hardware, freeing the client from having to install and handle them in-house.

Lightsail is easier to set up and prepare the environment for production and similar tasks.

We were using Amazon Lightsail to reduce our on-premises cost and also to make it available for use anytime and anywhere.
