"For those of you that are technically curious, the link above is a COBOL/CICS application that has been automatically recompiled to 100% Java with Heirloom® (https://www.heirloomcomputing.com/), packaged as a standard Java .war file, and deployed to AWS Beanstalk (which is a cloud platform for scaling web applications).
The data is in a PostgreSQL instance (read-only) running on AWS (and was migrated from a VSAM file).
The application is running on a t1.micro instance and the database is on a db.t2.micro instance, and the scaling is limited to a single app instance. i.e. about as small as you can get.
You can interact with the app and view, but not update, the data. For example, enter 1 on the main menu to scroll forwards (PF8) & backwards (PF7) through the records."

"Heirloom Computing was founded in 2010 to deliver a software platform capable of enabling enterprise IT to affect true transformation that was cost-effective, with high-value strategic benefits. It provides a unique solution for automatically replatforming mainframe workloads as 100% cloud-native Java applications on any cloud ..."
