Couple of reasons why you'd pick one of these services over a $5 DO droplet:
- Maintenance (zero)
- Auto deployment
- Global CDN
- Serverless functions can deal with spikes automatically, but cost zero when idle
- ecmascript 6y agoYeah I get that, it's a fair reason to choose serverless stuff before a VPS and I understand why people do it. In fact, I understand it enough and have felt the pain enough that I am actually working on a project that will help solve several of these issues for traditional server hosting. The only thing it won't have is a global cdn but that could potentially be added in the future as well.But I think a CDN is not needed for most projects actually and my service will focus on smaller to medium sized projects. https://deployjs.com/ https://deployjs.com/ - but it's pretty far from even reaching an alpha release :)
