gatsby-starter-mate VS vercel

I’d been searching the web for a suitable template, and eventually I found the Mate portfolio starter by software engineer Ema Suriano. This is a beautiful single page site with a customizable and responsive design regardless of whether you access it on a desktop, smartphone, or magic mirror. If you end up using this template yourself, be sure to buy them a coffee.

Due to the ground work done in Ema Suriano's gatsby-starter-mate, after the work done in the previous post only the following are needed:

Choosing Vercel was a natural decision as it has become the default method for launching apps that are accessible to a wide audience. The simplicity of configuring environment variables, domains, and other settings facilitated this choice. We have implemented feature branch deployment to guarantee that the code is operational and prepared for peer review.

Next, we'll deploy our ecommerce website to Vercel (which is a great choice to host your Next.js website). Other hosting options include Netlify and Render.

This approach has seen a proliferation of platforms that offer this as a service(Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare etc.) and also a proliferation of frameworks with different strengths and weaknesses(list of frameworks supported cloudflare).

Next.js: Highly optimized for production from the start, with features tailored for performance in real-world scenarios, including extensive support for SEO and server-side capabilities. Note: With deployment to Vercel is free and comes with additional free tooling such as website analytics and more.

Easily deploy your Next.js app with Vercel by clicking the button below:

Now go to https://vercel.com, sign up for an account, and click "New Project". Connect your GitHub account and give Vercel permission to access your repositories.

Next.js has become a standard choice for developing React applications, offering various deployment options across different platforms. While Vercel is a popular choice for building and deployment, specific project requirements may require deployment to GitLab. In this guide, I'll illustrate the process of deploying a Next.js application to GitLab Pages.

I hosted my portfolio in Vercel. The main reason why I chose it is the hosting has great support for NextJS and IMPORTANT THING, it is total FREE 🤑 (with my usage). And I have use GitHub Action for deploy it automatically when I make or merge change into main branch.

To do this just head over to Vercel and log in if you're not already logged in. If this is your first project, you'll be seeing something like this.

function getContentSecurityPolicyHeaderValue( nonce: string, reportUri: string, ): string { // Default CSP for Next.js const contentSecurityPolicyDirective = { 'base-uri': [`'self'`], 'default-src': [`'none'`], 'frame-ancestors': [`'none'`], 'font-src': [`'self'`], 'form-action': [`'self'`], 'frame-src': [`'self'`], 'connect-src': [`'self'`], 'img-src': [`'self'`], 'manifest-src': [`'self'`], 'object-src': [`'none'`], 'report-uri': [reportUri], // for old browsers like Firefox 'report-to': ['csp'], // for modern browsers like Chrome 'script-src': [ `'nonce-${nonce}'`, `'strict-dynamic'`, // force hashes and nonces over domain host lists ], 'style-src': [`'self'`], } if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') { // Webpack use eval() in development mode for automatic JS reloading contentSecurityPolicyDirective['script-src'].push(`'unsafe-eval'`) } if (process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_VERCEL_ENV === 'preview') { contentSecurityPolicyDirective['connect-src'].push('https://vercel.live') contentSecurityPolicyDirective['connect-src'].push('wss://*.pusher.com') contentSecurityPolicyDirective['img-src'].push('https://vercel.com') contentSecurityPolicyDirective['font-src'].push('https://vercel.live') contentSecurityPolicyDirective['frame-src'].push('https://vercel.live') contentSecurityPolicyDirective['style-src'].push('https://vercel.live') } return Object.entries(contentSecurityPolicyDirective) .map(([key, value]) => `${key} ${value.join(' ')}`) .join('; ') }
