Hosting for JAMStack / static websites are almost free now, and can be very easily and cheaply scaled. static-json-db can be a lower-cost alternative to traditional databases that do not need to be updated frequently. The proof of concept www.playliststar.com is updated on an hourly basis with ~200K tracks across ~7K playlists.
In the future I imagine adding a real-time component to complement static-json-db. Probably a very simple server that appends to a flat JSON file, which is served as a static file, and periodically "merged" with the "main" db.
