Ask HN: What's the lowest carbon impact way to build a web page in 2020?

1 pointdgerges5 comments

We're a Tech Hub based in Rennes, France and rebuilding our Web presence, we would like to setup a good practice for building a presence with the lowest possible carbon footprints. What are some providers or techniques you could point us to ?

Define "website".

The lowest carbon way is also probably the cheapest way. I dunno, maybe a static site on the cheapest s3 tier (with reduced redundancy) using cloudflare's free tier (workers, CDN, DDoS protection, SSL).

Website = a couple of static pages + images + a few forms embeds running on airtable

Thx !

Google cloud if you want a big vendor.

EU based smaller hosting provider such as scaleway:

For website, static generation opposes to loading ton of javascript and using a cdn.

Not much to go on here.

Thx !
