# Setup Netlify

Sygnal prefers Netlify for our SSE deployments, however there are many other CDN frameworks you can utilize; 

* Coolify
* jsDelivr
* NPM

## Why Netlify?

* Generous free tier. If you use a public repo, you should not need to pay anything for the SSE setup we're using here. 
* Direct integration with Github. 
* Automatic build triggers on Github commits. Simplifies the CI/CD setup, generally avoiding the need for Github Actions in a typical SSE setup. 

Also,

* Ability to deploy from private organization-owned repos if you want to, on a paid Netlify plan. 
* Lots of additional capabilities, like serverless functions.  br
