Figma lite
Collaborative canvas with live cursors — websockets, storage for assets, and bursty compute.
A Figma-shaped editor is realtime-first: websockets for presence and document ops, object storage for uploaded assets, and enough CPU for render previews. At 5k daily designers the bill is still dominated by always-on connection infrastructure — not the kind of app you deploy as pure static hosting.
