Not in the hearts and minds of most individual SMB hackers, though (except Heroku to some degree in some circles). Most of the rest were only for Enterprisey teams. Many, many folks graduated straight from FTPing PHP to the customer's shared host to running docker compose on the customer's VPS or cloud instance. The least-common-denominator clients that hire these folks graduated from shared hosting (where PHP/MySQL was the only viable option, really) to cloud instances (where suddenly all the other languages and backing services were viable). The GoDaddy->AWS LightSail "our website budget is 5 dollars" pipeline.
