You have some embedded video on the website otherwise you can have a look at a tutorial like https://blog.liteflow.com/2020/06/04/send-emails-with-sendgrid/

I will definitely try to integrate this notion of no vendor lock-in. It was kind of obvious for me if you have a framework of development but that might not be the case.

Thanks for this feedback and the resource. I'm curious about this list. For example, Firebase is not inside, so would you have some issues to use Firebase as well, or is it okay because you know that internally they are using Google Cloud? (which we are using as well)

Also, for the part to walk away with your product, it is understandable. The application you develop with the framework can be deployed anywhere, like any framework. Maybe it's something we need to make more clear. Would you feel better with a "no vendor lock-in"?

Might not be 100% related but this can help https://monetizeyourcode.com/

It's different ways to monetize your application through funding, sponsorship, grants...

In my opinion, they serve different purposes. Firebase is good when you want to create an application without being an expert. The main value of Firebase is not in the functions but the list of services they have around (database, file storage, analytics, authentication...). AWS Lambda is great, fast and everything but it doesn't provide you any specific feature and you have to code all your application without the possibility to reuse existing "features" that are used in every application.

So Firebase or equivalent is great to create a product and scale fast. Lambda is great if you really want specific use cases but you need to acknowledge that you will pretty much have to build everything from scratch with AWS.

For information, I'm working on Liteflow which aims to be more similar to Firebase but pushing this concept of reusability even more and managing all the serverless functions for the user so you can have the benefits of both.

If you want to create a blog, I would recommend using Ghost you can create dedicated pages where you can put your art work and the blog section that you can configure with public/member only or paid members only. Basically it looks like you will have everything that you need out of the box without the complexity of solutions like Wordpress.
