This moat is rapidly disappearing though. Cloudflare is catching up, most apps (including TanStack Start) can be one-click deployed without configuration now.
Same principle applies, hosting in Railway has slightly worse UX, but with LLM's you don't need to write a single docker line anymore, so deploying on railway is way way less cumbersome than before, and you gain more control and less costs.
