Decentralized Frontend example

We really want something like Vercel for Dstack.

Something where you point it to a github, and pretty much get automatic server-side scaling.

So far we've demonstrated agents and backends in Dstack, but stopped short of full webapps

• Hello world website with CRM features
• Follows a best practice for Dstack w/ the database
  • option 1: uses local ephemeral sqlite only
  • option 2: uses a blockchain smart contract instead
  • option 3: uses dstack-database and the original
• Follows best practice for hosting with a secure domain
• Automatic CI/CD using on-chain approval process

These nextjs and fastapi dstack starting points are closely related. They focus on illustrating the use of dstack sdk to access attestations and keys from a shared KMS

This issue is a little different in pointing out the need for a DB and release management

@amiller What are your thoughts on backup and replication for the app? Using WordPress as an example, how can we ensure the backup process runs smoothly? Is it a critical concern in this situation?

Researched a few open source platforms as a service frameworks. These would be a good way to finish this issue.

• coolify https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify/blob/v4.x/docker-compose.yml
• dokku https://dokku.com/docs/getting-started/install/docker/
• faasd https://github.com/openfaas/faasd/blob/master/docker-compose.yaml

These are fairly similar in that they run container-based applications within a docker environment. They all have some ingress based dispatch nginx

One way to look at this prompt is that it's about multiplexing a single CVM to host potentially many smaller applications
