Thanks for following up!

Don't get me wrong, I'll be totally excited to replace my card game app backend with a static binary, that's why I immediately went on trying Perry :)

Just to give you an idea what I'm trying to achieve: I'm currently hosting it on a single VPS. Node is handling the average of 30 qps, peaking up to 100 qps, just fine, with P99 latency being safely below 100ms and only occasional spikes of P99 to up to a second. The spikes are probably caused by some VPS sluggishness as I just use filesystem to periodically dump the in-memory games state.

But I expect I might eventually start seeing performance issues, so rewriting to a language that compiles to a native binary is on the table. I was considering Golang or Rust; making the current codebase compile to a binary would be a miracle saving me quite some time, even if I just vibe-code the rewrite :)

Just to chime in, i was having decent luck compiling Express apps to a binary using the experimental Node built-in executable feature--two years ago i was able to ship a single-binary Node-Express server without much headache.

Doesn't avoid the runtime, but it made deployment really easy.

Otherwise, I'm just using Go for backend now.
