What is a good alternative for static single-page apps? What are downsides of S3?
- colinbartlett 10y agoI host all my APIs on Heroku and all my static front ends on S3 with CloudFront on top. No downsides in my mind. Free and instant TLS certs with CloudFront, too.

- sytse 10y agoMany options. S3 is probably the most solid. Consider GitHub/GitLab pages. GitHub is pretty solid. GitLab allows you to use things other than Jekyll.
- dcecile 10y agoMy search led me to Netlify, which seems pretty great. It runs your build script when you push to GitHub, then serves the resulting static files with a Let's Encrypt certificate. Comes built-in with a CDN, so you don't need CloudFront or CloudFlare.
- kaishiro 10y agoI've recently been converted to Netlify after fighting hard against moving off of straight S3. There's an awful lot to love there.
- bobfunk 10y agoTake a look at netlify (https://www.netlify.com https://www.netlify.com). We're like a heroku tailored for that stack.

- danielsamuels 10y agoI use Github pages for my personal site.
- jgowans 10y agoAerobatic is one alternative option. Git push deploy. NPM auto-builds, CDN, SSL and more. https://www.aerobatic.com/ https://www.aerobatic.com/ Disclaimer: co-founder at Aerobatic
