It’s great for bootstrapping. A $5 droplet at Digital Ocean is more affordable than $25 per month. The same is true if you take advantage of lambdas. Quick boot up. Able to do more CPU work per unit of time. All because it’s fast and low memory.

Also the dependency world isn’t as messed up at it is in Typescript. I’ve been spending the better part of my time fixing dependabot issues. Some package I don’t know about is causing me to have to upgrade everything. Crazy stuff.
