static build and hosting options for WinterTC sites and specs #190

Overview

During the 5/29 meeting, it was discussed if there are alternatives to our more server-first build / hosting solutions for the website and various specs, which seems a little overkill since everything produced by our TC is entirely static.

Web Framework

At least for the website, we currently use Fresh. It doesn't have a static export option, but it seems like it may be coming soon? So maybe that could be a path forward?

There are certainly plenty of other options for SSG, but Astro definitely has captured the current sentiment of the frontend space.

Hosting

We currently use Deno Deploy, which does support SSG hosting and deploy previews for PRs. Not sure if they have an OSS plan, but I know something like Netlify does support that.

GitHub pages was mentioned, but it does not have very good ergonomics for deploy previews.


There could also be some opportunity to align with, or help other TCs within Ecma align on, a happy path solution for such cases broadly.
