I’m more interested in the tech behind these products. I have a dozen or so “apps” which amount to a python script or localhost site, but deploying them online has been a complete pain in the ass. I will spend ~8 hours perfecting a python script only to spend the next weekend figuring out how to deploy it behind a url. It’s extremely frustrating.
Maybe it’s because I’m not an AWS expert anymore but frankly I don’t want to be. I don’t care. I want to spend my time figuring out the business logic of the app, not tuning obscure IAM configurations so that one part of my app can talk to another.
What I want: take my flask app or node app and my frontend files and run it from a temp url. Include some hosted db. If everything looks good, sell me a domain name. Bonus points if this can be done from terminal like surge.sh can for frontends. And let me cap my monthly spend.
I noticed that one of the apps uses Netlify, are there better options or is that generally considered the best?
