Ask HN: Easiest to deploy web development framework?

5 points by kbrannigan 4y ago

What are the easiest to deploy frameworks in 2022? We talk about easy during development. What about during deployment. Which stack is easiest to get running in less than a day ?

Anything supported by Netlify, Vercel, Firebase, AWS Amplify, etc.

What are you trying to do? Absent no other information, I'd say Laravel (PHP.)

  PHP is a nightmare to deploy vs modern stacks. The LEMP stack needed to run it is a lot more complex than a serverless environment or a managed node.js system

    PHP is stupid simple to deploy for custom apps. I agree serverless / managed is simpler.

      What's your deployment workflow like for keeping it simple? Google App Engine works great but are there other options?

        I run my own server and "git pull" onto it, old school style (well, 2010's style anyway!)

<I work at Firebase> Hey I recommend checking Firebase and our support for Web Frameworks. "Firebase Hosting integrates with popular modern web frameworks including Angular and Next.js. Using Firebase Hosting and Cloud Functions for Firebase with these frameworks, you can develop apps and microservices in your preferred framework environment, and then deploy them in a managed, secure server environment.

  Serious question... Why should a dev choose you guys over Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, Amplify, etc.? Especially with Google's tendency to abandon services with little warning?

Cloudflare Pages is pretty good, it's for server-side rendering as well, and have things like Durable Objects that no one else have, and D1, which is built on SQLite. Sending emails is also free with Cloudflare Workers. No egress fees. Best of all fully-local development and testing is supported with an open-source runtime you can also deploy on your own, albeit without Cloudflare's edge-first infrastructure. Not affiliated with them, just my 2 cents.

  Pages recently added support for Next too, I think, making it an interesting competitor to Vercel! And Vercel uses CF Workers along with other CDNs and clouds. Interesting web of relationships there.

Vercel. Git push and you're done. Nothing to manage. It just works. It takes me about 2 minutes to spin up a new website these days, maybe 15 to make it a functional prototype to test some new SDK.
