All tests passing and the binary running flawlessly ON A FREAKIN’ RASPBERRY PI ZERO!
Wanna blow up my Raspberry Pi Zero?
Here, have some random ASCII cows: https://pi0.ar.al/cows

(I just want to see how it performs. Will turn it off at some point and delete this tweet when I do.) :)
Nearly three thousand requests with folks from Poland to California :) I think I’ll keep it running until it reaches about 10,000 and then give the little Pi a rest and call it a day!

Got a question from @RadicalEdward about how the Raspberry Pi Zero is exposed to the Internet: It’s via ngrok and I’m very impressed with how that’s handling itself as well (it’s an awesome service and worth every penny – both @laura and I have Pro accounts there).
Right folks, almost 6,000 requests last I checked. Going to turn it off now.
Thank you all for playing and for your very creative 404 messages ;)

Conclusion: you can host a personal site/app/etc. with Site.js on a Raspberry Pi Zero W.
Final tally: a tiny @Raspberry_Pi Zero W, running Site.js over a WiFi connection from my desk, & exposed to the Interwebs via @ngrokapp, served over 7,000 requests (mostly dynamic Node.js) in a little experiment we just ran.
Small Technology FTW! 😃👍
