Cloudflare Workers + Durable Objects. I used to like mucking around with Linux and distributed databases, but then Cloudflare came and destroyed all my motivation, since their platform is better than what I could come up in a decade. So just send me the bill and let me build brilliant, beautiful software effortlessly you bastards. Working harder than you should is a waste of time and money, you have to learn to sit pretty on the gravy train.

For my current side project (see my posting history) I run a Go executable on a $5 Linode. I have other projects that have been running on similar Linode VPSes for more than 5 years.

Vultr is cheap but flaky. It's good for experiments.

I'm currently experimenting with fly.io and quite like it. I'll try it for more side projects.
