This post is coated with lots of marketing fluff, while not directly answering the questions I most care about; How does it work? What can I host with it? How does the pricing compare (free tier?)?

It has even deployment instructions that don't tell you when your code will run, what resources are available or even on what URL you can access it. They say you can host a tokio server, but there's no mention of database or filesystem. I imagine that admin panel has those answers, but well, I'm really not doing a deployment to see it. (I'm not even creating an account.)

The docs do point out that stateful workloads are in their plans.
