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?
