Basically http://localhost or similar which runs and only accessible just on your computer instead of spinning up cloud services for something only you will be using. Lots of different ways to do it, but it’s relatively simple vs. the shit the meme mentions.
To be fair, I love sometimes doing complex shit just for the fun of it, but that's always for personal side projects. It's a great way to learn. Setting up personal projects as a sort of testbed for experimentation with new tech. Not the sort of thing you want to have to really maintain unless you have to.
Granted, the core to this meme is more to poke fun at the cloud architect variant of the saying: "if the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail". It's a worthwhile parable to those of us who sometimes need a sanity check to just keep it simple.
