This is interesting, I just tested it out and its pretty flawless. For a standard React FE app, why use this vs Heroku vs S3?

- guu 9y agoNetlify provides a global cdn and administrative features targeting statically generated pages. S3 is more generic in its goals so it doesn't provide either. Heroku on the other hand can host server applications which Netlify cannot so it is really a different service. You could host an API on heroku and the react app on Netlify.
- _fool 9y agoprobably the best reason is: we have our CDN spread over 4 different cloud providers. AWS and Digital Ocean could both go down (completely - though we're in several different data centers for each) and it would keep on keepin' on.
