Context

in order to do things like

• sync the data from the metrics db to the google sheet
• automate the collection of data over time

we need to host the metrics application on a remote server

Definition of done

• we have determined a hosting solution
• the application is online using said solution
• the data in the app has the potential to be accessed via other remote services (ex google sheets)

Notes

• we may need to consider hosting costs. ideally we could use the WMF's free infra, something without too many hoops to jump through. if this becomes a major issue please speak with Monica, Manuel, or Lukas for tips. if the wmf infra doesn't make sense, when I'm back I can see about getting us some small budget for hosting.
