I once built a web scraper with GitHub actions and just used gh-pages branch as my datastore

I eventually moved the service to a $5 vps + crontab because I wanted to manually set the cache control headers when serving my scraped data (updated hourly)

I build web scraper and deployed to Scrapinghub scrapy cloud (not sure what it allows for free, i have student benefits) and Cloudflare workers. Allows Cron actions, logic on the backend and static files (after you understand how wrangler works, good luck at that tho (: )
