I really like the concept, the persistence (with backups!), pre-installed agents, and how easy it is to go from experiment to a live server.
The downsides:
- usage-based pricing would be nice, $20/month is pretty steep to start, but also no room to scale up?
- 100GB/month is only 300k views for a small-ish page or API, 10k req/day is a tiny amount of traffic. Can't make anything public with that. Even the smallest servers at Hetzner have unlimited bandwidth
Those limits make it pretty clear it’s not really meant for hosting a production app. It’s for sharing something you’ve developed with friends/colleagues, or maybe a low traffic webhook handler for some personal thing. I made an Alexa skill for my kids once and it is perfect for that kind of project.
