Galaxus is great in terms of range and delivery time. They have local stores in city centers where you can pick up items to get them even quicker and avoid the packaging associated with shipping.
However, their return policy is terrible. If you return something with an opened box, there is a 10% return tax. https://www.galaxus.ch/en/wiki/560
Heroku might be a bit long in the tooth, but has a solid company behind it and it a lot easier than fooling around with Capistrano, Ansible or heaven-help-us Kubernetes.

I've conducted interviews for IC and managerial roles myself recently, and this is a common problem. It's unfortunately part of modern hiring processes.
Not a criticism of the efforts, just the focus. It would be really great to have a FOSS alternative to the increasingly expensive and locking-in Adobe suite.
The draggable columns are a nice feature though.
