Chapong vs Netlify
Netlify is a well-known managed platform for static sites and Jamstack apps. Chapong offers a similar git-push workflow with previews and rollbacks, but runs on servers you own and includes a Supabase-compatible backend.
Where they differ
General differences in approach. Netlify changes its products and plans over time, so check its own documentation for current details.
| Chapong | Netlify | |
|---|---|---|
| Where your apps run | On your own dedicated server, or on Chapong’s shared pool | On Netlify’s managed cloud platform |
| Where data and logs live | On the server that runs your site | On Netlify’s infrastructure |
| Pricing model | Flat monthly price; own-server plans include the server | Per Netlify’s published plans |
| Git deploys and preview URLs | Yes, GitHub and Gitea | Yes |
| Custom domains with automatic HTTPS | Yes | Yes |
| Instant rollbacks | Yes, atomic switch to an earlier build | Yes |
| Built-in database and auth | One-click Da8a backend (Supabase-compatible Postgres, auth, storage, functions) | Bring your own, or use their integrations (see their docs) |
| Global edge network | Not the focus: your site is served from your server | A core part of the platform |
Netlify may suit you better if…
- You want a fully managed global CDN and don’t want to think about servers
- Your site relies on Netlify-specific features or configuration
- You need its ecosystem of plugins and add-ons
Chapong may suit you better if…
- You want your code, logs and data on a server you control
- You prefer a flat server price you can predict
- You want a Postgres, auth and storage backend next to your site without another vendor
- You run Node apps alongside static sites
Moving a project over
- Create a site from the same repository and check the detected build command and output folder.
- Chapong does not read
netlify.toml: set the build command, output folder and environment variables in the site settings. - Deploy a preview and check redirects and serverless functions you relied on; move server logic into a Node app or Da8a edge functions.
- Add your domain, update the DNS record to the target Chapong shows, and HTTPS is issued automatically.
- Prefer the terminal?
