PaaS Compute Hosting Selection

Use this skill to pick the right managed compute platform for an application, agent, or bot when you don't want to operate Kubernetes, EC2 fleets, or your own infrastructure.

This is a selection skill, not an implementation guide. If you already know the platform and need help building on it, hand off to the platform's docs or to software-backend / agent-stack skills.

When To Use This Skill

• Picking where to deploy a Next.js / FastAPI / Node / Python app
• Choosing the compute substrate for an agent (Shape A triggered, Shape B bot, Shape C loop)
• Deciding between Vercel-style serverless, Fly.io-style always-on containers, and Cloudflare-style edge workers
• Evaluating "deploy-and-forget" platforms vs setting up your own infra
• Picking a host for a side-project, prototype, or production product without a platform team
