The difficult with backend is dealing with state. It's easy enough to provide a simple experience when dealing with stateless frontends, backends are a very different story.

You're right that we need better tools. I'm the founder of Encore [1] which is all about bringing the simplicity of Vercel/Netlify to backend development. Not by substituting the backend for a BaaS but by building a developer experience hand-crafted for dealing with cloud infrastructure.

I'll definitely review your service but in the meantime you should know my desktop (macOS) Firefox is freaking out on your website and is scrolling it in a janky manner and it keeps one CPU core at 80% for good 30 seconds after switching away from the tab.
Oh, thanks very much for letting me know. We'll have a look.
can it be used without creating account? also does your open source version has telemetry enabled?
