Will Bun JavaScript Take Node's Crown
Great experience with it. The examples in the repo, the issues and discussions sections, and the documentations are all very helpful. Alex and the other users are also quite hands-on in replying on each and every issue and discussion there.
We have some thin wrapper for uWebSockets.js that lets us do the following:
- parse request json
- parse request multipart data
- serve response json
- serve response buffers
- serve response streams
- serve response static files
- support async handler
- support multiple async handlers (middlewares)
links are here

- https://github.com/joshxyzhimself/modules/blob/main/uwu.d.ts
- https://github.com/joshxyzhimself/modules/blob/main/uwu.test...
internally we just serve http, then it goes through caddy or haproxy depending on the project's needs such as tls, caching, etc.
there are other similar projects too that tries to deliver express-like api:
- https://github.com/kartikk221/hyper-express

Is an ec2 t2.micro instance porwerfull enough?
use better performant node framework. (fastify or https://nanoexpress.js.org/ (if it is small app can handle (150k req/s))

Hosting old Node Projects 👴🏼
If you want to dig into it anyways, Dokku is an interesting mention. They provide an Open Source PaaS that you can install on your server to simplify self hosting containers.

Deploy Node.js applications on a VPS using Coolify
When I came across Coolify, I thought of giving it a try. I am aware of Dokku, but I never really tried it because it doesn't have a UI. I work primarily as a UI developer, so having a nice UI to work with is a plus for me.

The Hater's Guide to Kubernetes
I run all my projects on Dokku. It’s a sweet spot for me between a barebones VPS with Docker Compose and something a lot more complicated like k8s. Dokku comes with a bunch of solid plugins for databases that handle backups and such. Zero downtime deploys, TLS cert management, reverse proxies, all out of the box. It’s simple enough to understand in a weekend and has been quietly maintained for many years. The only downside is it’s meant mostly for single server deployments, but I’ve never needed another server so far.

Netlify just sent me a $104K bill for a simple static site
Yeah there are a bunch of selfhostable things:
Caprover (https://caprover.com/)
Dokku (https://github.com/dokku/dokku)
But people still choose Netlify and Vercel for ease of use I think.
Maybe we need something that's just Netlify. The closest I've seen to the "right" UX is Ness:

The 2024 Web Hosting Report
The modern iteration of these tools has taken the developer experience learnings from the Platform as a Service (PaaS) category, and will bring them to your own VM, giving you your own personal PaaS. Example of this include Dokku, Coolify, Caprover, Cloud66 and many more!
- Ask HN: Is there an open source alternative to Digitalocean app platform?
-
Ask HN: How are you hosting multiple small apps?
Based on the fact that your ideal is to have a similar experience to heroku than managing your own server setting up reverse proxies take a look at these options:
1) https://dokku.com - lets you turn your light sail instance basically into heroku
2) https://render.com
3) https://fly.io
4) If you have aws credits this is their heroku equivalent: https://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk
above is not what I do but would be the options I would pursue if I understand your preference and requirement correctly.
