How to deploy a Node.js app for your clients?

What are the best ways/practices/services for web developers to deploy a Node.js app for clients? Allow me to expand on this question.

I’ve will likely be building a web app for a friend, and would like to build it on a Node backend. For my own Node apps I’ve used Heroku and currently am learning to use a VPS (digital ocean). I am curious what other or more "client friendly" hosting/deployment options most freelance web developers use when it comes to Node applications? I would like to be as hands off as possible after the project is complete; in other words–build the site, deploy it for them, and that be it (outside of any technical support).

Strictly front end projects seem to be a bit easier and organically more hands off as far as hosting/deployment is concerned for web developers. Any suggestions for a node app?

This link might help: https://www.sitepoint.com/exploring-different-cms-solutions-built-on-node-js/

or just explore the best options for node.js cms's out there. I don't personally have any experience with building web apps with node.js, but this is where I see you finding your answer. Good Luck!
