The ideal Node.js starter platform
- How to...
- 1. Create an account, enter a username and password.
- 2. Go to my GitHub project, click on Settings, click on Service Hooks.
- 3. Click on the name of your platform, enter your credentials from step 1, and click a checkbox to activate.
- 4. Go back to the platform to see my app running.
- To update the app, update the GitHub project. "Continuous deploy."
- This is as simple as it can be, and if you do it, I will use your service, and more important, if it's reliable and affordable (say $10 per month), I'll recommend it to my readers and users of my software and of course I will use it myself.
- Of course it has to be reliable and perform reasonably. Scaling -- not such a big issue. The idea is to have people running their own apps in the cloud, for them, and their friends, or a workgroup in a corporate setting.
