If nothing else, this whole thread shows that actually running a product in production is much more difficult than a lot of people would like to believe, and paying for good managed hosting is worth it. Just because we want it to be cheap or easy doesn't mean it will be.
Aside: has anyone here ever tried to build an actual wheel? Like a wheel for a car, or a wheelbarrow, or a wagon? One that has to take hundreds / thousands of pounds, works in multiple environments, lasts years, requires little maintenance? I think the phrase "reinventing the wheel" understates the difficulty it takes to actually re-create a wheel even if you already know how it works. Not only is it wasted effort if a good wheel already exists, it's also much harder than you think.
