Isn’t that how any Go project is put online?

The key distinction here seems to be that it uses an in-core database (SQLite), whereas a Go project may depend on an out-of-core database like Postgres, which would then also have to be deployed.

For many projects (especially hobby projects where downtime is tolerable), the former is probably quite sufficient.

Didnt docker make this easy for all projects?

Not really because then projects started needing multiple containers and orchestration, and might be fussy about the order the different services come up.

the +docker step already adds friction, so I can see the point.

Is that the same concept that Deno uses?
