Most of my prior experiences with web development had utilized server setups in which Heroku had done most of the server configuration magic for me, OR, I was hosting static pages on Github Pages. I wanted to setup something more “robust,” for the ITP library, and give myself the possibility of doing some more interesting things on the server-side, including the possibility of maintaining my own databases (a glimmer of an idea for now, given that I intend to see how far I can get with just Google Sheets at first).
