Thanks for the suggestion about static sites. Had heard about Jekyll and a few others like Yeoman but wasnt sure what they did exactly.

Any links to tutorials/vids that can help get started on building these with a no-database database sort of setup you discussed?

Check out surge, it's really easy too. I've added it to this repo's example so it now gets published at https://pfnp.surge.sh/ This is only for the front-end example, not the back-end since it is only for static files.

Whether or not you need a database depends on your app's requirements. Sometimes you can get away with just a static JSON file that is managed as part of the git repo. Other times you can separate the front-end into its own static website. Or rely on a SaaS DB like user management services offered by Compose.io and AWS RDS. Or higher level APIs like Auth0.com or Facebook.
