I personally wouldn't trade the stability of aws/heroku for $5 difference a month.
I do think the opportunity is available for making the process easier for specific technology stack. For example, I used Meteor's galaxy hosting platform 'cause it works so nicely with Meteor applications. And it is so simple to do, the toolbelt makes it so that it is literally a one-line command line to configure and deploy. And I know that it JUST WORKS, I don't need to worry about nuisances of Meteor hosting.
What if something like this exists for say React? The JS tools fatigue is drowning all React devs. If you can make something that is super simple for say webpack deployment. That would be sweet! I'd pay a premium for that convenience and knowledge that I'm not doing something stupid.
- marktangotango 10y agoBut Lite Engine is running on AWS! For your react example, for Lite Engine, to deploy a react/webpack frontend application, you'd build it, zip it, and upload it. There are lots of static file hosting soluttions around now (github pages, bit balloon, etc) so I'm not sure what you have in mind there. I think ultimately, the message I'd like to convey is, 'it' doesn't have to be that hard to deploy a single page app. This is heresy to many :) Thanks again for the feedback I really do appreciate it!
