Firebase Hosting

This site is currently on Firebase Hosting.

Since 2013, shorly after joining Amazon, I've been using S3 for hosting static websites, later combining it with CloudFront. While this combination has been reliable, I wanted to explore alternatives outside of the AWS ecosystem.

I initally tried Cloudflare and Netlify. Both platforms offer a more "managed" experience, such as providing per-branch URLs, but impose certain conventions. For example, Netlify redirects URLs with uppercase letters to their lowercase counterparts. Cloudflare doesn't enforce this, but it does redirect URLs with extensions (e.g., .html) to extension-less versions.

Firebase Hosting is still "managed", but doesn't mess with URLs.

While the existence of Firebase App Hosting is a bit worrisome, I'd stick with Firebase Hosting for now.
