I work with commodity LAMP-style hosting mostly, so I'm not familiar with this sort of framework. How involved is setting up and running a Haskell web server? Is it a fully bespoke thing that needs to be figured out, or is it just like an image you install? Is this stuff generally hosted on standard clouds (e.g. AWS)? IMO the server setup seems to be the biggest issue with these sorts of boutique web frameworks, but I'd love to learn more if I'm incorrect.

IHP apps are generally deployed on standard Cloud such as AWS. In the big picture you need to build the binary and CSS+JS and then copy the files onto your production server. There you just need to start the binary and pass some options (such as the DB connection) via env parameters.

There's also IHP Cloud which is basically "netlify for haskell". Here's a video of deploying a IHP haskell app in 60 seconds: https://twitter.com/digitallyinduce/status/13134104697854074... More infos here: https://ihpcloud.com/
