I’ve been on Netlify for a while and it’s great at what it does.
I recently went back to Digital Ocean for my side project because of what Netlify currently doesn’t have: DNSSEC, HTTP/2 push and prioritization. ECC certificates from Let’s Encrypt.
- lmm 7y agoWhy do you want ECC specifically? Isn't that an implementation detail?
- alwillis 7y agoFrom a performance point of view, ECC certs are significantly smaller than RSA certs at a comparable level of security. Smaller certs translate to fewer bytes going over the wire when doing TLS handshakes, reducing latency. But it was really their lack of HTTP/2 push support and how their CDNs don't support H2 prioritization correctly[1] which annoyed me to the point of going back to Digital Ocean and running my own instance of H2o where I have full control.[2] 1. https://github.com/andydavies/http2-prioritization-issues https://github.com/andydavies/http2-prioritization-issues 2. https://h2o.examp1e.net/configure/http2_directives.html#http2-casper https://h2o.examp1e.net/configure/http2_directives.html#http...
