How Alternatives Are Selected

1. AWS Lambda

4.7

AWS Lambda allows us to do cloud operations like self-service, elasticity, managed runtime etc. without provisioning any infrastructure or resources. It's best for lightweight API's, event-driven backends, automations, workflows and more. You just provide the code and AWS runs it. It also supports multiple runtimes and packages. You can also leverage it for distributed apps as it supports cloud native architecture, and the plus is that you do not need to provision any servers or containers.

6. Vercel Platform

By Vercel

4.5

(21 Ratings)

My experience with Vercel Platform has been solid, especially in terms of ease of use and streamlined deployment workflows. However, I've experienced some inconsistency with performance, particularly slower build and deployment times at times. It's a good platform overall, but there's room for improvement in speed and reliability.

7. Cloudflare Pages

By Cloudflare

4.7

(16 Ratings)

In combination with Astro, CloudFlare Pages helped us migrate off of a pair of legacy CMSs in record time (full site migration in less time than one or two new page templates would have taken in the old CMSs), and have supported much better performance and dynamic content within a mostly static site. The blurry line between Pages and Workers hasn't always been smooth sailing, but as the two products get more and more aligned, it's getting better, and I can see a future where there are no remaining issues.
