I start the project on Netlify because I was already a big fan of all the developer experience they bring. For a project without a database, is still my favorite way to deploy, but for a full-stack project, Render.com gives all the developer experience I had with previews on PR for database and better log. I also sad to say to for this type of project, serverless is not the best solution. Render will offer autoscaling and I have better control on my server.

I used Gatsby over Next.js because Gatsby is a faster and easier solution for a marketing static web site. I love the Gatsby Plugin than make it so easy to add features and configuration in gatsby-config.js.
