I host all the static files of my Netlify and Vercel servers on IPFS
it is simple enough and free even on hosted solutions, and it keeps my Netlify and Vercel free during spikes in traffic
but the availability issue is perplexing, just like OP encountered
some people just randomly wont be able to resolve some assets on your site, sometimes! the gateways go up and down, their cache of your file comes and goes. browsers dont natively resolve ipfs:// uris. its very weird.
- indigodaddy 3y ago“ and it keeps my Netlify and Vercel free during spikes in traffic” — how exactly would this help re: potentially breaching outbound transfer limits?
- yieldcrv 3y agoif static assets arent being requested from their server then it would not contribute to your bandwidth meter
- indigodaddy 3y agoYou still have to transfer that data through the network pipe to the end user no? How the server itself accesses the files to do so seems irrelevant to me.
- Drblessing 3y agoI think if the assets are served in the html from ipfs gateway, then it doesn't add to your outbound traffic. Also once browsers support natively ipfs:// static content the game changes and the IPFS party really gets started.
