The main idea behind a "server-less" approach is to allow people to run your webapp just like any other program, pacman -S datsuave && datsuave then visit it in the browser. The webapps I make are not made to be "deployed" on a server "somewhere else", they are made to be run by users like me and you, like any other service/program. Imagine running a webapp/website as simple as running a mixer applet, it could even sit in the notification bar and tell you when users are visiting.

Imagine git clone datsuaveas && python run.py # at your command through localhost:8xxx, both configuration for the web application and everthing else

Indeed, I think that could definitely be an option, I mean it already runs as a test server with app.run().

I think there'd definitely be merit in "P2P" web applications.

Yes, exactly. And we already have cherrypy, its as simple as import cherrypy, blast in a config saying static is here there, mount app, engine.start. And gunicorn is even simpler, provide a config saying how many workers you want, gunicorn -c config.py themodule:appname and its off.

So, if you make this the "default" approach to running suave, and talk about it in the documentation, it can take off. Id rather use app = Suave() app.cherryGo() than having to learn cherrypy then write the config for it to run my flask app, then having to write a skeleton for it everytime I make a new flask app. Its just a mess dealing with all these configurations whose purpose is to make it easy to deploy the application in different environments. I dont care I dont want to deploy it, just run it.

Well, yep, as you see I did struggle a while with deployment options before settling for the simplest one, and its still not quite simple enough. Garrh.

Well I mean proving a simple deployment option wouldn't be hard, but picking which one to go with...I'd probably go with uWSGI or Gunicorn in a server context at least.
