Really cool website! I'm confused though exactly what is going on. Is this kind of like Heroku? What are the pros and cons of this service? For context, I'm currently running a production node/express/mongo service on Digital Ocean.

Compared to other providers, there's absolutely no setup involved. No Procfiles, ports, containers, dynos, processes, instances… Just type `now` where you have a `package.json`.

This is very cool. I'm excited to use this in my next project. I like the zero setup, no fuss, secure by default features. I guess 4 more questions:

1) Does "Dynamic Realtime Scaling" mean you spin up more clusters and do load balancing automatically?

2) Can your $15/month cost cover this? Or is that what the 50GB bandwidth cap is for?

3) The nature of this service means we need to use a DB service like mLab (mongoLab) or run our own DB server right?

4) What about production logs?

Protip: put an extra new line between items or HN eats your line breaks :(

fixed, thx

How is there no port? I have to run my server on some port, are you saying I can choose whatever my port I want and your service detects that somehow? I don't need to use process.env.PORT ?

Cool. But what about persistence / choice of database and how can I scale up / down?
