Begin VS GitHub Pages
Begin
Begin is a cloud platform for building, deploying, and managing serverless applications. It offers a range of features for building and deploying applications quickly and easily, including support for a variety of programming languages, automatic scaling, and real-time monitoring.
One of the key features of Begin is its support for serverless functions. With Begin, you can build and deploy serverless functions as part of your application, and the platform will automatically scale your functions to meet demand. This makes it easy to build and deploy applications that are built around small, focused pieces of code that are only executed when they are needed.
Begin also provides a number of tools and services to help you manage your deployments, including analytics and monitoring, custom domain management, and integration with popular services like GitHub and Slack.
GitHub Pages
GitHub Pages is a static site hosting service that is designed to host your personal, organization, or project pages directly from a GitHub repository. With GitHub Pages, you can create a simple website by committing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files to a repository on GitHub, and GitHub will automatically serve the website from a URL that is based on your GitHub username or the name of your repository.
GitHub Pages is a quick and easy way to create a simple, static website, and it is especially useful for hosting documentation, project pages, and other types of websites that do not require a dynamic back-end. You can also use GitHub Pages to host websites that are generated by static site generators, such as Jekyll, and you can customize the look and feel of your website by creating a custom theme.
