Should I switch to Zeit Now ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Should I switch to Zeit Now. Netlify build times are starting to creep in. Date: February 6, 2020 Netlify ─────── I have happily had my personal site waylonwalker.com <https://waylonwalker.com> hosted on netlify for nearly 2 years now. In fact I have hosted about a dozen different toy projects to play with on there, 4 of which have gone far enough to get a custom domain name. They are fast to deploy and consistently do so on every git push to main. Zeit ──── I have recently started playing with zeit again. I really like their cli tool, its dead simple and makes sense. I tried the netlify one early on and dont think I really gave it much of a chance. I was able to backup a site we were modifying by saving everything locally (literally control+s) and running now in the command line. While I was on the site I realized that when switching to gatsby v2 I had deployed it to now.sh while testing, before cutting over to the updated one on netlify. It has been building every version since without issue! │ It has been building every version since without issue! What I am using ─────────────── - gatsby - forestry.io I am using gatsby to build my site, and I do use forestry.io as a cms to be able to edit/manage posts online. I think forestry is part of my problem in that it has added extra builds. Every time I upload an image or save a post, even a draft, it pushes to production. Why Switch ────────── This is just a side hobby for me. I do not make any $$ off of it, and I do not want to pay for anything I do not have to. As I am stepping up my blogging I have already hit 50% of my build quota only 1 week into the month on netlify. I really like what netlify is doing for the JAMstack community, but I would rather build everything locally and push to GHPages for this project than have to pay for it. What Are your suggestions ───────────────────────── Do you use Zeit? Where do you host your gatsby.js site?
