Confetti: A toolkit for setting up and deploying static sites on AWS

I haven’t used Netlify but it does provide some nice features. Some things that Netlify does that would be hard or at least require some work with Confetti:

  • Atomic Deploys
  • Unlimited Snapshots / Versioning & Rollbacks
  • Instant Cache Invalidation (CloudFront cache invalidation times vary)
  • Automated Builds (can be done with CI though)
  • Branch Based Split Testing
  • Form Submission Hooks
  • Multiple Environments Support (dev/staging/…) (would be possible by creating multiple sites)
  • Single Page App Prerendering

These are mostly copied from the Netlify features page. Netlify’s free plan is definitely a strong competitor :wink: That said I’m more comfortable with AWS than a smaller platform like Netlify and haven’t had a strong need for any of the additional features.

Also Confetti was created at a time when Netlify didn’t exist or at least was still relatively unknown.
Maybe I should have turned it into a company too :money_with_wings: :sweat_smile:
