API server placement considerations

what is appropriate to do?

Heroku

If you use it infrequently, you can go with the free plan.

1,000 hours per month

Sleeps if not used for 30 minutes

For $7/month, you'll be up and running all the time.

That's what I'm doing for the most part right now.

Return time from sleep could be an issue.

If the file size is too large, it may not fit in the free range

500MB storage size for free slots on Heroku

HTTPS with wildcard certificate

AWS Lambda

I know it's an option, but haven't tried it yet.

MeCab uses native binaries in its code, so if you want to create a Python deployment package, please use the Amazon Linux AMI available at the following link to build an environment equivalent to the Lambda execution environment and create the package on that OS Please create the package on that OS.

Netlify Function

I can't use Python, so it's not suitable for natural language processing.

I often use Netlify for static delivery of HTML+JS UI parts, so it would be better if I could consolidate them.

AWS EC2
