Hosting Options #8

Open nuclearGoblin opened 4 months ago

nuclearGoblin commented 4 months ago

Investigate potential hosting options. Considerations:

Scale (how many players can access it at once without it becoming bogged down)
Availability/Stability/Downtime
Cost - there are free CI options out there, but I don't know how much computing time they'd allow, perhaps worth looking into?
Security - if we stay a small project then it shouldn't be an issue, but if this becomes more public would self-hosting be a risk?

The limiting factor here is that we need it to be always-on, even if the CPU usage is low. We should measure the exact CPU usage of a /roll command, as some service measure CPU time instead of "real" run time.

AWS actually has a free tier option that might work. https://aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/?did=ft_card&trk=ft_card

If it does work out, here are the instructions for connecting it to the repository: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/integrating-with-github-actions-ci-cd-pipeline-to-deploy-a-web-app-to-amazon-ec2/
