@BryanF1nes Heyy, can you rename and move this new file to nodeJS/express/deployment.md

Could the verbiage for this part be changed to match the updated text in #28036 (inc. pending changes from comments)? Just the hobby plan bit, not the legacy hobby plan bit.

| ##### Fly.io: Hobby Plan | |
| - New customers get a one-time $5 free trial credit to test Fly.io at no cost. The credit will only start being used if you exceed the free resource allowance, and once it's been used up, you will be automatically placed on the $5/month Hobby plan. | |
| - The longevity of your free trial credit depends on how many resources you consume. More complex apps with more traffic may consume all free resources within a month, whereas simpler apps may last longer. |

Yea basically a placeholder to indicate more information should probably go here

@01zulfi What do you think about the Neon bit? The other deployment options seem capable of hosting an Express server, but Neon looks more like DB hosting? i.e. Deploy Express app elsewhere, and connect to a postgress DB hosted on Neon. The current placement makes it look like it's the same kind of deployment as the others (can host a full Express server). Wondering if separating it out to a new section for DB hosting would be more appropriate. |
|
@MaoShizhong I was hoping Neon's description would make it apparent to the learners its for database hosting. If you feel we need to add a new database hosting section, I'm onboard. |
|
I think splitting between Express server hosting and DB hosting sections will be very sensible. A common problem here is people not understanding that things like Netlify, which were used in the React course, can't be used for our server deployment despite all the description and access to docs. I think it should be made very clear by the structure that there are two separate types of deployment options listed. Also a slight a11y boost separating DB hosting to its own heading. |
|
Okay sure, we can split it. Just one minor nit I'd have, so many of these services have both server hosting and database hosting though. Do we then have two separate entries for these services? Edit: or we could just mention in the first bullet point of each PaaS something like: "This PaaS supports (both server and database | server | database) hosting.." |
|
To be fair, a first bullet point making it clear what's supported e
Would be fine. Though having said that, with the addition of Koyeb, we'd have 5 server+db PaaS options with free tiers + Heroku (do we even need to have Heroku listed anymore since there's no free tier?). Would we need to also add Neon to the mix given it's a DBaasS only? |
|
I'm glad you mentioned Heroku, I really don't see the point of having it listed anymore. But I really do like the idea some where near the top where each service is listed just like a disclaimer if you will that will say can host databases and servers etc. |
|
Basically just some explicit way of showing what each PaaS is capable of/is for, whether that's splitting into "Server + DB hosting" and "DB-only hosting" sections, or each individual listing clearly showing what can be hosted on it. No strong feelings either, just that it should be explicit what each PaaS is for (since Neon is definitely not like the others). |
Because
This PR is a first pass for the deployment lesson regarding the Node revamp that is currently under work.

Additional Information
I'm submitting this PR primarily to have a review on topics down near the bottom where I include information regarding other PaaS service providers such as (Koyeb and Neon).
