- yunohn 5y agoThanks for this, it answers my question partially - the author talks about Hugo-based static sites. As for OP, I’d be curious to know how services with more dynamic workloads fare. However, reading another comment of theirs, it confirms my suspicion that it was for their personal services, not public.
- the_duke 5y agoI edited my I initial comment to mention this, but I also know companies with sizeable production deployments. It's definitely viable for businesses if you need to save money. Although I primarily recommend it for secondary workloads. As a business you will probably be better off having S3/GCS and managed Kubernetes, managed databases etc. Better guarantees and less risk. And everyone is familiar with the big clouds, so less training for new hires.
