you’d (I’d) think ~managed cdn serving an s3/blob origin would be a no brainer. Hell, GitHub pages even: BYODomain, + hosting/automation/cdn…

Where’s the free lunch in that line of thinking? which cases are a droplet better in?

Being able to recycle the vps for other self-hosted apps is nice (eg vpn, dns-level adblock, etc).

Also not having to learn another tech for something you'd only have to set up once every year or few years.

(Now that I’ve tried to RTFA, it seems homie has a runtime dependence (db?) or something colocated on the host failing? OWASP, right? Having a resource limit reached maybe? Nextjs seems like a cool approach to manage partially ~runtime-dynamic systems like this/cms/etc)
