Azure Static Web Apps VS Digital Ocean App Platform
Azure Static Web Apps
Azure Static Web Apps is a platform for building, deploying, and managing modern web applications. It offers a range of features for building and deploying serverless applications, including support for a variety of programming languages, automatic scaling, and real-time monitoring
Azure Static Web Apps is designed to be easy to use and require minimal setup, making it a good choice for developers who want to focus on writing code rather than managing infrastructure.
Digital Ocean App Platform
Digital Ocean App Platform is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that allows developers to build, deploy, and scale applications on top of DigitalOcean's infrastructure.
With the Digital Ocean App Platform, you can deploy your code with a single click, and the platform will take care of the rest, including provisioning servers, configuring load balancers, and scaling your application as needed. You can deploy a variety of different types of applications to the App Platform, including containerized applications, serverless functions, and static websites.
Azure Static Web Apps
- limited accessibility in some areas
- A limited level of authentication is offered
- GitHub Actions are used for continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), which means that a command-line interface is not necessary
- Charges for a custom domain, a free tier, and a greater app size
- connects to further Azure services, including Azure Functions, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Storage, and Azure Event Grid
- appropriate for less-featured, simple web apps
Digital Ocean App Platform
- Global CDN-based hosting
- enables the usage of unique authentication and authorisation sources
- Git-based workflow and built-in support for continuous integration and deployment allow for the customization of the pipeline with unique actions
- Pay-per-use fees are assessed according to the resources utilised
- connects to more services like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket
- flexible, suitable for a variety of online applications, and offers more infrastructure control
