Netlify vs Zeit.co if I don't want to touch AWS vs GCP vs Azure directly?
Startup time, i.e. first API call? I think Zeit.co has good serverless...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
Azure recently launched a service meant for JAMStack called Static Web Apps in Preview! It provides tight integration with Functions and since you already have credits lying around, it would be great once it comes out fully and becomes chargeable.
I did notice you mention switching to Next.js but if Gatsby is your thing, Gatsby Builds has insanely fast build times as outlined here willit.build/
As for SSG, I am not sure if I need incremental builds...
I usually posting my content right on GitHub repo. But Gatsby build is faster with CMS than plain markdown.
True, they have outlined the reason for that in their FAQs willit.build/faq#markdown-mdx-builds I'm in a comparable situation where my blog posts are stored in MDX files too, but I have been happy with the build times until now, as they are still significantly faster than a GitHub action I have configured for my repo.
I would say it depends. If it's small or something that is really common (blog) probably go with a headless CMS. Only if it's something REALLY unique would I say roll your own backend. If you do decide to roll your own backend, probably start with whatever your most comfortable with. If it gets popular and you aren't meeting the scale, then do some hard evaluations. Don't overcomplicate it before you ship it.
Actually, I shipped it -- polv.cc but,
I'd probably go with Netlify and Netlify Lambda (just for a search engine that is not on client side). It seems to be fast enough. Not sure about costs...
Related,
I am currently using Nuxt, but I also considering moving to Next.js with MDX support.
I feel like I was wrong in thinking that I need a CMS, whether headful or headless. I can simulate the search function with a serverless function, anyway.
Also, I was wrong in thinking that Jekyll is putting too many files in a folder. The truth is, one folder and 10k files would still not hurt the performance. Also, it is possible build a flat file CMS on top of the single flat folder, anyway.
In the end, Jekyll isn't so bad, but I just want
That's way I might go Next.js.
A from scratch CMS is probably overkill. I would look at migrating to a managed service. This coming from someone who made the same mistake lol. I also do agree with the next.js move because I'm probably going to be doing the same, but from plain react.
I don't use AWS, GCP, Azure. They're too complicated. If there's a simple way, then why choose to complicate life?
Price and free credits in the first year.
Even Vercel and Netlify give it for free every year without complicate life.
Cloud Run ?
It's just a fully managed Docker runner. Not sure if I will be as performant as fully static hosting on a [PUT_YOUR_CLOUD_HERE] Storage, or using CDN?
Okay maybe Vercel Server Pre Rendering is what you need...

Can I use a full REST API, or do I have to use their serverless functions (which IMO is very very easier to use than Netlify)?
I think you can use any endpoints. They use Notion api for querying documents in their example.
I am happy with Vercel with my WIP sapper ecommerce site.
