I'm using now.sh, really nice for a node/express based API endpoint. Ours seems to scale very cheaply and deployments are, dare I say, fun :)

Sounds great, where do you host it? AWS / heroku?

now provides the hosting abstraction [1], sounds like internally they choose whichever one is cheapest.

Rad. I did not know this. Where is your database hosted?

Mlab.com (also inexpensive if your needs are reasonable), with a lot of our stuff being handled with s3 bucket storage. Sorry for the late response.
