Cloudflare’s pretty good if your stack can target it with relatively little effort; I have mostly found (of all things) Oracle Cloud (stop vomiting!) to be a really good landing place for stuff that’s too Node-y

yeah thing is I want people to be able to deploy it with minimal technical skill. Tbh I should probably just bit the bullet and make it a SaaS thing
