Trying out DenoDeploy Early Access

I have been using DenoDeploy for my experiments and toys recently and have been wowed by it. Recently, they announced that their version 2 is coming, and you can try it out in early access now: DenoDeploy.

I wanted to try this and felt that after a year, it was a good time to rebuild the website for my sole proprietorship, https://www.goodname.co.za. Last year, when I launched it, I hosted it on my main (expensive) hosting provider where I run this and used Drupal as a system for it—all because it was quick to get going. In a year, I did no updates and spent way too much time updating dependencies I didn’t need. So why not try something new with DenoDeploy in early access? And what I couldn’t do before? Run static HTML content! Yeah, DenoDeploy now lets that work, and since I can put together HTML/CSS/JS quickly, it makes it really solid.

It also means I can use my normal dev tools and push updates via GitHub. I don’t have much more to say because DenoDeploy EA just worked—it was easy to configure (just connect to GitHub), link the domain via DNS, and BOOM! It is running. It is amazing. I am very excited to see what’s coming from them in the future.

If you are looking for a place to run TypeScript, JavaScript, or static content, you owe it to yourself (and your wallet) to check it out.
