Firebase Hosting vs Netlify: What are the differences?
Firebase Hosting: Production-grade web content hosting. It is production-grade web content hosting for developers. With a single command, you can quickly deploy web apps and serve both static and dynamic content to a global CDN (content delivery network). You can also pair it with Cloud Functions or Cloud Run to build and host microservices; Netlify: Build, deploy and host your static site or app with a drag and drop interface and automatic delpoys from GitHub or Bitbucket. Netlify is smart enough to process your site and make sure all assets gets optimized and served with perfect caching-headers from a cookie-less domain. We make sure your HTML is served straight from our CDN edge nodes without any round-trip to our backend servers and are the only ones to give you instant cache invalidation when you push a new deploy. Netlify is also the only static hosting service with integrated continuous deployment.
Firebase Hosting and Netlify belong to "Static Web Hosting" category of the tech stack.
Startae, Ratio, and Flat are some of the popular companies that use Netlify, whereas Firebase Hosting is used by Thought Vector, Step Up Labs, and Talkative. Netlify has a broader approval, being mentioned in 131 company stacks & 380 developers stacks; compared to Firebase Hosting, which is listed in 12 company stacks and 6 developer stacks.
We use Netlify to host static websites.
The reasons for choosing Netlify over GitHub Pages are as follows:
- Netfily can bind multiple domain names, while GitHub Pages can only bind one domain name
- With Netfily, the original repository can be private, while GitHub Pages free tier requires the original repository to be public
In addition, in order to use CDN, we use Netlify DNS.
