Digital Ocean App Platform VS GitHub Pages
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.
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.
Digital Ocean App Platform

- 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
GitHub Pages
- directly host static webpages off of a GitHub repository
- enables the use of custom domains
- free
- integrates version control on GitHub as well as other GitHub capabilities
- Suitable for modest projects without server-side coding or straightforward static web pages
- Since GitHub Pages does not contain a build step, building the site before deployment is required
