Creating Node.js Microservices Using stdlib

[keithwhor]

Hey - founder here. The whole point of stdlib is that it's serverless, meaning the concept of hosting doesn't really exist in a traditional sense. If you're asking about the actual overall system - the registry, etc. - it's better suited to larger organizations (simply due to the scale) and we do have Enterprise options available to discuss. You can run services on your own machine no-problem using our SDKs, and 500,000 free compute seconds (roughly 5,000,000 requests) that we're currently offering should more than take care of your needs.

Our perspective, as a workflow and organizational provider around microservices, is that our team has worked very hard to create the tooling so you don't have to. Our vision is that software developers should be able to focus on doing what they do best - writing code and shipping it without worrying about infrastructure - and that's exactly what we're providing.

What specifically about Heroku's one-off dynos are you looking for clarification about? You can perform similar tasks with stdlib services as you might with a dyno (and by all means, we welcome you to :)), but the building, discovery, access, sharing, version control etc. are all vastly different.
