Some examples of deployment in the wild would have helped?

In case it's not clear it's the same single file that runs on all supported operating systems. One file, run anywhere.

I can already imagine people telling you to install certbot and putting Apache in front of this...

I made the website for my wedding with Redbean, just for a bit of fun. It was a delightful experience. Deployment was just: upload one file, restart a process. I developed on my Mac, and deployed the executable, unchanged, to a Linux server. It just worked. Nice.

Yep, for some reason my imagination is just not kicking in here. What can I do with embedded Lua in backend? I'm not familiar with Lua at all so I have no idea.

Love this software.

Can't say I understand how it works in depth but as something to tinker with it's amazing. So clever.
