It sucks that you had to kill your project because of costs but honestly I don&#x27;t blame you for going the Heroku route. It does it all for you with some &quot;mininmal&quot; configuration. I like linux and have done enough maintenance on various sites so I generally don&#x27;t feel lost but I&#x27;d kill to have someone walk me through the process of setting up a production ready web app just once.
