Launching naNode: Tiny backend instances deployed with ease

Hey Indie Hackers! 👋

I am Martin, based in Canada, and I am here to present my recent side project. I am launching a beta version to test it out with potential new users.

To build a website for your side projects and get started, there are plenty of providers offering cheap/free static frontend hosting, such as Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, etc. However, when it's time to choose a cheap/free provider to build your backend integrated with your frontend, things are typically not as simple and cheap. Most cloud providers have free tiers, but they tend to be complicated to manage and have unclear limit expectations.

Here it comes: naNode (https://www.nanode.dev/)

With naNode, you can get your tiny backend instance in a few seconds at a fraction of the cost (don't worry, we also have a free plan!). We support instances with as little as 64 MB of memory—yes, node.js, golang, etc. can run on an instance as small as that. Our system is simple; no need to spend hours configuring your backend. We have a small set of features, and we aim to make it as simple as possible for any new or experienced developer. Furthermore, everything we do will be open source to ensure transparency and even allow users to contribute.

Let me know if you have any feedback or are interested in trying it out. Feel free to join our Discord (https://discord.gg/6wR4PVEGsn).
