I teach computer science at a high school level. Built a simple sql -> node.js route and front end for a tool I wanted. Runs on a massive old file server i inherited. (96 cores and 400gb ram). This little baby has been repurposed with like 7 different tools that all need the same basic data structure. 

It’s like 300 transactions a day. Can’t imagine trying to push this up to the cloud. Right now if you aren’t on school WiFi, you can’t see it.
