This looks cool. It's like http://surge.sh but for the backend.

Really cool website! I'm confused though exactly what is going on. Is this kind of like Heroku? What are the pros and cons of this service? For context, I'm currently running a production node/express/mongo service on Digital Ocean.

You don't really mention this in the pricing section but I assume for the paid plan, it gives you the option to hide the /_src feature based on something (IP, etc.)?

Compared to other providers, there's absolutely no setup involved. No Procfiles, ports, containers, dynos, processes, instances… Just type `now` where you have a `package.json`.

All `/_src` links will link to a secure portion of the site with login + 2FA. Security is top of our mind.

Cool. But what about persistence / choice of database and how can I scale up / down?
