Why not S3 and Cloudfront or equivalent?
- mswehli 9y agoI used kubernetes because i already have a cluster running that i use for development. Instead of spinning out and paying for a new vm or app service to host it on (which cost the same basically), i found it makes more sense to create it as a docker image and launch it as a kubernetes deployment. Since we develop everything ourselves and don't have any features where users can upload anything, it works out to still be secure.
- decwakeboarder 9y ago> Instead of spinning out and paying for a new vm or app service to host it on (which cost the same basically) S3 / Cloudfront is (apologies for the buzzword) serverless and incredibly cheap. It's public-facing only though.
- mswehli 9y agoOh sorry i actually confused S3 for aws ec2 for some reason >_< Didnt really think about it to be honest, but will give it a look. Long as it can be connected to my pipeline!
- pmh 9y agoIf you want to stick with Azure, blob storage (+CDN if you want both HTTPS and a custom domain) works pretty well and is dirt cheap.
- mswehli 9y agoThanks i'll have a look. Though i feel like i might miss my loadbalancer :) kind of attached to it now. But cheap sounds great!
- aalbertson 9y agoyou won't need a load balancer... it will just serve infinite scale (effectively) as they take care of that automatically.

- charlieegan3 9y agoS3 and cloudfront isn't perfect. If you've got a lot of redirects the S3 config is a pain. Getting the ACM certs is the big bonus though.
