Curious what you mean by "expensive"...are you talking about monetary or maintenance cost?
I keep a cheap bottom-tier ec2 instance alive to run my website, stand up demos, etc. Keeping a node instance alive is pretty easy, and one of the reasons I used GitBack was so I wouldn't have to stand up a MongoDB instance...the content just lives with the code on GitHub.
Given that all my content lives in Markdown files, I'm not too afraid of migrating to GitHub pages, Medium.com, etc
- fiatjaf 11y agoComputing cost, or maintenance, whatever. It takes a machine running a memory-intensive NodeJS process, more if it uses a memory-intensive database. It is much cheaper to host a static site, that's why GitHub offers it for free.
