Why this exists
NaaS is a ReadTheManual side project. The point is not the no-generator. The point is the machine it is running on.
The argument: you do not need expensive hardware to learn, build and deploy. You do not even need a Raspberry Pi. A laptop from 2012, an SSD pulled from a drawer, and a free DNS record are enough to put a working webapp on the public internet.
If this Celeron with 3GB of RAM can serve a web application to the internet, your excuse is probably not the hardware.
