Ask HN: What's the lowest carbon impact way to build a web page in 2020?
We're a Tech Hub based in Rennes, France and rebuilding our Web presence, we would like to setup a good practice for building a presence with the lowest possible carbon footprints. What are some providers or techniques you could point us to ?
- raffraffraff 6y agoDefine "website". The lowest carbon way is also probably the cheapest way. I dunno, maybe a static site on the cheapest s3 tier (with reduced redundancy) using cloudflare's free tier (workers, CDN, DDoS protection, SSL).
- searchableguy 6y agoGoogle cloud if you want a big vendor. https://cloud.google.com/sustainability https://cloud.google.com/sustainability EU based smaller hosting provider such as scaleway: https://www.scaleway.com/en/about-us/ https://www.scaleway.com/en/about-us/ For website, static generation opposes to loading ton of javascript and using a cdn. Not much to go on here.
