   Let's say you wanted to create a throwaway dynamic Web API in a few hours; for example, for a hackathon or a demo. How would you build it and deploy it?

     @evan in the past I probably would have said Heroku but these days I’m not sure. I would probably try something like Railway: https://railway.app

     @gabriel where would you deploy your Docker image and why?

     @evan Without any more requirements or restrictions, maybe httpbin on a docker host.

     @gabriel Can you create quick CRUD APIs with that? It seems pretty useful.

     @lanartri Ha! If it were me, the entire hackathon would be over and everyone would have gone home and I'd still be sitting in the dark by myself trying to debug my GitLab configuration scripts.

     @evan probably, gitlab ci/cd -> docker image -> linode/do etc. (via ssh)

     @evan The last time I did something like this for a prototype I used Vercel and deployed the front end there along with their server/lambda functions equivalent for the api.

     @paulrbr @microcksio no, live public API for a hackathon, demo or POC. Not an in-process mock library.

     @evan if its really just for testing you could go with only writing examples data, and put that in a mocking service. E.g. with the excellent open-source project @microcksio

     @gabriel let's say live, public API that your collaborators can test and build with.

     @evan If I was doing a hackathon in a machine hosted in the same lan, for a demo in my host machine. Why? Probably for simplicity and not rely on third parties.

     @evan Nah if you need to precan your responses there are seemingly useful things like https://github.com/typicode/jsonplaceholder
