glitch.com as a deployment option?

Open sknebel opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

I currently have no use for this, but in case you hadn't seen it: https://glitch.com is a (free) node.js hosting thing and might be an interesting platform to run this project on. They have a button similar to the "Deploy to Heroku" one: https://remix-button.glitch.me/ Might be worth a look and test?

Thanks @sknebel! Wasn't aware of the button, will certainly look into it, sounds great 👍

Glitch is nice and easy to get started with but for production stuff you have no contract/SLA.

I had a few issues with 504/503's though:

Good for experimentation/remixing/blah but there are no guarantees :)

A more durable deployment (less user friendly) target could be Lambda, it's even used for CI: https://github.com/lambci/lambci

@ScalaWilliam Thanks for the notes! Regarding Lambda, yes I agree that would be very interesting, I added #2 for that. AWS should have some similar declarative way as Heroku and Glitch, Cloudformation or something, so should be almost as easy there (not taking into consideration that the UX of AWS is slightly – um – challenging)

In regards to Cloudformation on AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/construct-your-own-launch-stack-url/
