But having a container to deploy makes more sense than telling people to just use Vercel or cloudflare. Default to cloud isn't a good mindset.
- jchw 3y agoI understand the sentiment, but the point isn't "Cloud", the point is CDN/file server. The truth is though, that yes, I would generally recommend someone who has never deployed a front end application before to "default to 'cloud'" in that they should absolutely, 100% use a CDN service that handles everything for them, including deployments and rollbacks, availability, etc. Doesn't have to be any specific service: they're all just about the same. No lock-in required. Cloud can be bad, but in this case it's barely any different from what people used to do with cPanel hosting back in the day. The point is to just drop some files somewhere and have someone else's HTTP server host them.

Yes but I don't think we should be outraged over posts that discuss deploying with an HTTP server. If anything, the concern should be over the focus on specific platforms like Vercel/Next.js, or Cloudflare Workers limiting broader understanding and options.
