There is one thing (and only one thing!) that I miss from the PHP world: You can easily host your website by dragging and dropping files to a web hotel, and also easily store data without the files getting reset after a restart.
Does anyone know an easy hosting service for Kotlin where you
Get persistent storage. I don’t want the files to get overwritten when you restart the app. I want to be able to store data in the /resources folder, and keep the data after restart.
Get a file browser, where you can open a file and edit directly in the web browser, maybe even drag-and-drop files from the local file system.
For your point 2: It’s an interesting concept. Upload files to a server (or maybe push them through a GIT and the server fetch them) then the server compile them and start the app.
On my side I never heard about that kind of service for compiled language. But it sound not too hard to build on your own server.
For your point 1: You can write it up enough easily and quickly as part of your app.
It sounds like a pretty standard continuous deployment service. I don’t know any existing SaaS solution, but companies often have Jenkins pipelines configured like this.
