Exploring various options for deploying a web application with computer science student Dylan Albertazzi!

He has been building an application using MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.JS (the "MERN Stack") and now wants to deploy it to the world!

We talk through the tradeoffs between using a Platform as a Service (PaaS) options such as Heroku, deploying directly to a VM with a cloud provider like Digital Ocean, as we as how to scale the app down the road.

I hope you find the discussion educational!

Cheers!
