I've seen Netlify mentioned a few times now. Are there any downsides/negatives to using it?

- chrisdalke 6y agoI’ve wondered the same thing. It’s so ridiculously convenient that there has to a catch! I previously used the S3 + Cloudfront setup that many commenters have mentioned, but have switched to Netlify for static sites simply because I don’t have the overhead of setting up any configuration in AWS. With Netlify, you can be up and running with a new static site as soon as the DNS record propagates. I’ve always wondered if there was any throttling or performance impact at high traffic- but I haven’t built any high-traffic sites yet :)
- volkandkaya 6y agoOne catch is 100gb limit but for a personal site you will never hit that. Anyone recommending S3, github pages etc hasn't tried Netlify.
