You've written your web application!

 

 

Where can I see it?

Let's just spin up a server...

 

Install a web server like Apache...

 

Transfer the files to the machine...

 

Not that bad.. right?

People love your application!

 

So much, they complain when it stops working!

What fixing servers at 3:00 in the morning feels like

And complex deploys always work... Right?
