Re:How to deploy a React app for free by josep-panadero on Tuesday August 18, 2020 @02:17AM (#24195800)
It is fantastic how far we have gotten. I had a web in Geocities before the Yahoo purchase. It allowed 150 Kilobytes of storage and no CGI (Common Gateway Interface).

I do no see mention of size limits in the article. I just checked Firebase and the free tier allows up to 1 GiB total.

Security is the other change. To run CGI allowed control of too much for any provider to be comfortable with it. Containerization and overall Operating System improvements allow for server-side code with safety (Spectre aside).

Great article and great opportunity for anyone that wants to start small on the cloud.
