An AWS service for building, hosting and scaling full-stack web and mobile apps with Git-based CI/CD.

Freemium
  • fullstack

Paid
  • cdn
  • edge
  • pay-as-you-go

Cloudflare Pages

A frontend platform that builds and deploys static sites and full-stack apps from Git onto Cloudflare's edge.

Freemium
  • frontend
  • jamstack
  • edge
take

Git-to-URL hosting on Cloudflare's edge with unlimited bandwidth on the free plan — hard to beat on cost. Cloudflare is steering new full-stack work toward Workers, so the two keep merging.

Heroku

A managed PaaS (owned by Salesforce) for deploying and running apps via dynos with add-on services.

Paid
  • paas
  • hosting
  • deploy
take

The PaaS that defined git-push-to-deploy. Honest take: free tiers are long gone and it's in wind-down for new features — fine if you already use it, not where I'd start today.

Freemium

Git-driven hosting for static sites and serverless functions, with forms and edge functions built in.

Freemium
