Spike - Hosting Platform #10

Investigate what the best hosting platform will be. We will need to have a place to host the website, as well as the bot and an API that can communicate with the bot.

Some possible suggestions include:

Vercel
Heroku
Linode
Digital Ocean
AWS EC2

But others may exist that could be better than these.

So for now it looks like we can have this infrastructure setup:

Database: SurrealDB or MongoDB (hosted)
Website: Vercel with Serverless functions
VPS: Linode or Digital Ocean
Bot will be deployed with an API, on an Express server to the VPS

Leaving this here for now, we won't need to implement sharding until we have 2000 servers.

Currently holding off on making the final decision until we see when surrealDB is releasing their hosted offering.

Was able to get surrealDB hosted on fly.io. The last thing we need to check on is if we can host the bot on something like fly.io (we want to stray away from having to manage a VPS)
