Check Netlify

Or Vercel

Best scaling in their free plans

Heroku hobby is a joke in comparison and hasnt been updated in a decade while all their addons have gotten less and less featured while costing more and more

I host all my static assets on IPFS which practically nullifies the bandwidth limits of Netlify




Could you elaborate on how you use IPFS? How fast is it? Do you use use a pinning service?


I upload static assets to IPFS and add those static links to my project instead of having an "assets" folder.

IPFS is fast enough, I had these concerns too so I use a gateway for links as some of them cache files on their own CDN, for free.

Yes, I use a pinning service, I was extremely hesitant as many of them are just SaaS hosting like Pinata is and charge by bandwidth used, but there are free ones like https://web3.storage which for some reason is combining Filecoin and IPFS together for each upload and liveness/pinning.

Ironically, Pinata also acts as a gateway and can then be used for free if you want. But there are other gateways. Cloudfront has one but what it decides to cache is strange.
