Well it's a node.js application so I may even be okay with just a node.js web server?

You'll usually want to put the app behind an actual web server to act as a reverse proxy/HTTPS terminator, rather than have it accept connections directly. For example you can use nginx as the reverse proxy to handle incoming connections and HTTPS and forwards connections internally to the node.js app. Here's an example for Ubuntu: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/t...untu-22-04 From what you said above, I assume you'll need Windows, so you'll likely have to adjust things a bit, but all of the software should also be available there. Alternatively you could probably run a small VPS with Linux on it to act as the web server, and then another VPS with Windows on it for the Adobe software, configured to only accept connections from the web server.

I tried that approach before, just to see if it would help. It actually functions, though it might be a bit more complicated. Setting it up on a separate VPS could add extra steps compared to starting a web server directly on the Windows machine without prior experience.

Also offers security advantages. Even if an intruder gains access to the web server (such as a flaw in the node.js application), they remain just one step away from your data on the system.
