My approach was to set up a Windows VM on Azure / AWS and install the app
there. Then use RDP clients to access the app in the cloud. Users can access
the app from pretty much any device that has RDP client software. Mac / Win
/ iPAD etc.

Then at least your DB access from app is local to the VM and nice and fast
as well as your DB is not open to the outside world.

If your delphi application is designed for multiple clients to access the
same database, then it is just a matter of making the database accessible on
the internet. That does not involve a website, but it does open the database
to scrutiny by anybody else on the internet.

My own websites use Firebird as a tool to store the data that is displayed
on the website, but is only accessible by the local copy of PHP, while
another application has BuilderC clients spread across multiple locations
all accessing the one copy of Firebird one a closed network.

As Mark says, what are you actually trying to achieve?
