- Best for
- Front-end projects where fast previews and zero-config deploys matter.
Why I use it
Push a branch, get a URL. That single loop makes review painless: no screenshots, no "it works locally", just a link someone can open on their phone.
How I use it
- Preview deploys for every pull request and client review round.
- Production hosting for static and React front ends.
- Domain and TLS management handled automatically.
What works
- + Preview URL for every push
- + Effectively zero configuration
- + Excellent edge performance out of the box
What doesn’t
- − Commercial use requires a paid plan
- − Bandwidth and function costs can surprise you
- − Opinionated — fighting the platform is painful
