Azure Static Web Apps VS Gatsby Cloud
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.
Gatsby Cloud
Gatsby Cloud is a cloud-based platform for building and deploying Gatsby-powered websites. It offers a range of features for building and deploying Gatsby applications quickly and easily, including support for continuous deployment, global CDN distribution, and real-time monitoring.
One of the key features of Gatsby Cloud is its focus on performance and scalability. The platform is built on top of a globally distributed edge network, which allows it to deliver fast, reliable performance to users around the world. Additionally, the platform integrates seamlessly with a number of popular services and tools, including GitHub, Slack, and Sentry.
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
Gatsby Cloud
- Host Gatsby.js websites on a high-performance, distributed edge network
- enables the use of custom domains
- offers both a free plan and premium options with more features and scalability
- integrates with additional Gatsby plugins
- Appropriate for Gatsby.js websites and projects that need preview and production deployments
- Gatsby sites may be built and deployed with built-in support, which supports preview and production deploy
