Isn't already super trivial to get a nodejs app and running in not time on AWS or GCP? Why would I pay for this?

- rudian 5y agoSounds like you never used Vercel now AWS. I wouldn’t call AWS “super trivial” nor is Vercel equivalent.
- abxytg 5y ago"Isn't already super trivial to get a nodejs app and running" No. Hosting a node server on a bare metal vps is not "trivial". You need to deal with routing, auth, etc and that's even before you get a user on a different continent. I think its a worthy exercise for new programmers but IMO there is 0 reason to waste the time and mental overhead. Im sure we all have about 6 projects languishing because we dont want to ssh into an instance and remember what the hell is going on in there. Maybe just me.
