GitHub Pages as Hosting
This decision record outlines the choice of GitHub Pages as the hosting platform for the personal website.
Decision made by site owner on 5.08.2023.
Context
The requirement for a simple, reliable, and cost-effective hosting solution that integrates well with the existing GitHub repository.
Alternatives Considered
- Vercel: Provides advanced deployment features and superior performance but may require additional configuration.
- Firebase: Offers a full suite of web application services including hosting, but its broader scope goes beyond mere hosting needs.
Rationale
GitHub Pages provides a straightforward hosting solution directly integrated with GitHub, offering ease of deployment and minimal configuration. It lacks preview functionality and this decision is going to be revised in the future.
Implications
Streamlined deployment process, free hosting, and improved integration with the GitHub workflow.
