Glitch is definitely the closest in terms of usage. We in fact used Glitch ourselves quite a lot. But even running the simplest piece of code on Glitch still requires you to write all the boilerplate code (e.g. setting up a node express HTTP server).

And of course, Glitch stops every instances after 5min of inactivity and it takes a solid 30sec to wake them up after.

Glitch is unbeatable in the frontend part. But we want to make the backend dev experience more seamless.

The 5min inactivity shut down is only for free accounts though, is chunk going to continue to run my app 24/7 on a free tier?

The boilerplate code part sounds interesting, so chunk is also a bit of a framework? That's really nice, could speed up development a lot more. You're totally right about glitch taking a while to get going with. Does that framework restrict users in anyway, can it be ignored?
