Determine level of effort and steps for GitHub-hosted ICF #122

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Currently users must self-host the app. While some users prefer (and indeed, some require it), it does present a higher barrier to entry - especially for people just wanting to test pilot the app.

Describe the solution you'd like

If we can host the app on GitHub infrastructure, users could get a greatly simplified install experience where they can pick it from the Marketplace and both install into their org as well as get an instance up and running without having to wrangle any infrastructure themselves.

This would incur some cost for GitHub, and maybe ought not be published/public on the marketplace for absolutely anyone, but as steps on the path we should determine what it would take to get a "no hosting required" app experience going.

We decided not to pursue this approach - the project will remain an open source, self-hosted solution.
