Gatsby Cloud VS GitHub Pages
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.
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.
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
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
