I was wondering when this was going to happen! This is a legitimate contender here against Gatsby, Netlify, AWS Amplify and the like

One thing I like about this over all the others is they aren’t (to my knowledge) just reselling AWS features with added convenience (not that this is an issue or bad, but this a lot of what Netlify does with their lamdas for instance, if I recall correctly) and their CDN is top notch IMO as well. I’m very excited to see how this plays out especially when they add the full stack backend to the mix with durable object storage and broader more fully features edge workers with KV storage

I do wonder if they’ll add GraphQL support out of the box (for instance a ready to configure and use a GQL worker)

Also curious if they will solve for the ability for JAMstack sites to have more real time features via SSE or websockets through their worker platform

Genuinely excited! Sadly they aren’t hiring for WFH and their SF office didn’t have any postings related to working on this from what I can tell :(

I can only dream of working on such cool things

Netlify maintains its own edge network that's actually deployed across various clouds. You are right that Netlify uses AWS lambdas to power Netlify Functions, but that was chosen for the wide support AWS lambda enjoys as a standard. The upcoming edge handlers (in beta) execute javascript directly on Netlify edge nodes worldwide.

Yeh, but Netlify also has broken HTTP/2 prioritization whereas Cloudflare has working prioritization

There's also a big difference between deploying CDN nodes at the Edge as CloudFlare does and deploying ‘Edge Nodes’ in other cloud hosting providers which won't really be at the edge.

Don't let a lack of a job posting stop you, I would find someone on twitter and reach out.

There is (now?) an explicit "P.S. We're hiring" on the page ;-)

This looks great, I have a bunch of Gatsby and Hugo sites I've created (mostly with Stackbit) that I'm going to try and host with this new offering. I've been using Netlify until now because it was the default
