Chose Netlify Platform
Vercel is not accessible in China, but Netlify is. That was a huge selling point for our specific product. Additionally, while Vercel can do preview deployments, the way they want you to set up aliases is a bit of a hassle compared to Netlify. Pricing is pretty good as well.

Chose Netlify Platform
Personally, I found Netlify Platform to be significantly more user friendly than Cloudflare for hosting and deployment purposes. The UX was a big improvement over Cloudflare although the performance is generally comparable, if not slightly worse.

Heroku provides backend server capabilities, meaning its configuration is slightly more complex and involved than Netlify Platform. Netlify Platform trades off ease off deployment for limited hosting capabilities

Chose Netlify Platform
To me, Netlify is the gold standard for static web hosting, but each alternative has specific situations where it might fit better. If building a Next.js site, then Vercel is the easiest solution for hosting. For Jekyll, GitHub Pages might make more sense. Other than that, I …

Netlify
Netlify is a static website host, so it obviously wouldn't work for hosting dynamic websites built in PHP, such as WordPress or Drupal. It works very well with static sites with a git codebase on something like GitHub. It has automatic deployments, which include preview websites. It works very well with this workflow. There are solutions for allowing content authoring on static websites on Netlify, but I would probably reach for something like WordPress or Drupal for that.

Pros
Netlify
  • I can connect Github/Gitlab repos or drag and drop code folders directly to host them onto the platform, and can customize build and publish details. It handles all granular details itself, so I don't have to worry about configuring everything like I would have to do on an IaaS like AWS
  • Netlify Platform has inbuilt scalability support - meaning automatic upgrading of servers to handle traffic, without us needing to do anything at all, again, unlike IaaS, where we'd have to manually configure scaling
  • It has a built in CDN, meaning static applications can be served blazing fast over the web without worrying about traffic or latency

Netlify
We interact with the CLI via our CI/CD pipeline. It was very straightforward to get set up, and their documentation is thorough. There are a ton of examples online of various setups. We needed to deploy a React SPA, so we required redirects, which was straightforward with Netlify.
