Progressive Web Server (PWS)

PWS is a headless web browser for hosting and managing progressive web applications (PWAs) on the cloud with 24/7 availability.

Description

Progressive Web Server (PWS) is a headless web browser that runs progressive web applications (PWAs) on the cloud, providing 24/7 availability. It leverages HTML5, WebRTC, Javascript, and WebAssembly to host PWAs, transforming locally-limited applications into continuously available services. PWS runs on a Rapid.Space VPS, using a headless Chromium browser. It offers a REST API for automated provisioning and configuration and is naturally scalable and eco-friendly due to the inherent nature of PWAs and the potential for P2P libraries. The platform is easily accessible, starting from just 1€/month.

Features

PWS utilizes a headless Chromium browser for 24/7 operation. It supports PWAs built with HTML5, WebRTC, Javascript, and WebAssembly. The service is accessible via a REST API for automation. The platform is naturally scalable and environmentally friendly because PWA code executes on the client-side, distributing processing power. It offers easy integration with various development tools and libraries, and can be cost-effective compared to traditional cloud solutions.

Benefits

Reduced infrastructure costs by eliminating the need for extensive cloud resources. Increased availability and uptime for PWAs (24/7). Enhanced scalability through the inherent scalability of PWAs. Eco-friendly solution due to reduced server demands and the potential for P2P architectures. Simplified deployment and management through a user-friendly interface and REST API. Cost-effective solution, starting from 1€/month. Access to powerful PaaS capabilities built into web browsers.
