You know who is completely missing the boat on solving this problem? Heroku. I guess I should say Salesforce. It's pretty amazing though - they used to be the default "deploy this shit I just wrote" choice.

I'm excited to try Stripe Projects, but the thing I'm kind of dreading is the need for multiple providers. If I want auth, a database, and a front end, I'm using Supabase and Vercel, for instance. I don't blame Stripe for this - that's just where we're at right now, with everyone unbundling platforms over the past decade. I think platforms will be back in style soon enough.
