I discovered Netlify through Netlify CMS. I had a pretty bad opinion about Netlify CMS, so I was pretty sure Netlify was going to be at least as bad. Damn, I have never been so wrong: - the interface is so intuitive I never opened the documentation - this is FAST (the bottleneck to see my website live is now my browser cache) - no need to create a Github Actions pipeline to deploy, just say "hey, my repo is here" - automatically integrated with Let's Encrypt for custom domains - deploy previews!!! And so much more.

My favorite feature is automatic deployment of pull requests. I love it, and I wish there was something as cheap and easy for backend services as well. Though I guess it's not too necessary if you implement testing properly :p

  Heroku has offered branch previews for a while now Edit: they call it Review Apps (https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/github-integration-review-apps https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/github-integration-rev...)

    This looks almost too good to be true from the docs. Thank you, I'll check it out.

  Also, preview deployments for PRs.
