Setup Netlify

Setup Netlify as your site engine code CDN

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

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
