We recently finished our firecracker-based webapp hosting platform.
It's like if Vercel and Docker had a baby: You write VM configurations in a language that looks like a Dockerfile, and every commit creates a preview environment which can be "promoted" to a production site.
Here's an example configuration:
```
FROM vm/ubuntu:18.04
RUN curl -fSsL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash
RUN apt-get install nodejs
COPY . .
RUN npm install
RUN npm run build
RUN BACKGROUND npm run start
EXPOSE WEBSITE localhost:3000
```
This product combines our firecracker-based hypervisor (200ms cold starts) with a global CDN written in Go (using Caddy for TLS termination)
We can offer everything for free because we charge for the DevOps side (CI/CD & preview environments) - we have no intention of getting users and then upselling people for hosting.
We're obviously very excited about this launch, and would love to hear your feedback.
