Is Hosting Included with Scrivito?
In Short: Yes! but There’s More.
We teamed up with Netlify, a company that offers “the fastest way to build the fastest websites”. Their all-in-one platform allows users to automatically build, test, and deploy modern digital projects globally. What is more, Netlify was built for serverless Jamstack websites like those based on Scrivito.
Once you’ve set up your new project in Scrivito, you can very easily connect it to Netlify. It’s just a matter of a few clicks in your Scrivito account. Netlify’s “starter” package is free and more than sufficient for a small to medium-sized business project or for building a simple proof of concept.
With your site on Netlify you make your JavaScript website or web application many times faster by bringing it closer to your users. Instead of delivering it from a single server, your app is automatically transferred to a global network of intelligent CDN nodes. What else do you get out of the box?
- Atomic deploys (you can roll back at any time)
- Cache invalidation
- Unlimited snapshots and rollbacks
- Custom headers
- Proxy and redirect rules
Also, you can manage your domains and DNS, set up SSL (HTTPS) with one click, and pre-render your site for SEO and sharing content on social networks.
WHAT ARE THE OTHER ADVANTAGES OF USING SCRIVITO WITH NETLIFY?
A Simple Workflow
Once your repository (at GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab) is connected to your Netlify account, you can automate your builds. With each git push using Netlify’s CI/CD pipeline designed for web developers, you can even generate a full preview of your site for each branch you have set up.
Deploy Atomically
Deploy atomically to Netlify’s ADN, a global, multi-cloud “CDN on steroids” designed to optimize performance for JAMstack sites and apps like the ones built with Scrivito.
Use AWS Lambda Functions Easily
You can deploy AWS Lambda functions without configuring API gateways, coordinating deployments, or even setting up an AWS account.
Manage Signups, Logins, Password Recovery...
You can do all that, and more without integrating an authentication service. Connect to any service that supports JSON Web Tokens easily and securely.
Each time you start a new project via the Scrivito dashboard, your individual Example App is launched and hosted on Netlify with a unique URL. You have the option to continue using Netlify to host your website or use one of the many other options available. We just wanted to make it as easy as possible to get started.
