Infrastructure What runs under-the-hood. | AWS and Google Cloud Platform (GCP)Depends on the region | Heroku Cloud |
| Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) | ||
|---|---|---|
Continuous deployment | ||
Automated builds from Git An easy integration with popular Git repository hostings like Github, GitLab and Bitbucket. | ||
Instant rollbacks to any version Easy way to promote any previous build to production without the need to revert commits or data changes. | ||
Site previews for every push New build with a unique URL for every commit and pull request. | ||
Compatible with all Static Site Generators | ||
Notifications Events triggered on successful, canceled, or failed build. | Slack, Email, GitHub | Slack |
