I mean there are. s3, netlify, ...

You can do this with most static site hosts. I guess the only real concern is trying to get dynamic subdomains.

I even wrote a small server to accept tarballs and dump them onto the filesystem so that they could be served by nginx. https://gitlab.com/kevincox/tardeploy (sorry, no docs)

Netlify offers much of the functionality but I hit the monthly build limit long ago for pydantic docs. Plus it's a pain to use for stuff like coverage.

S3 doesn't offer the redirect functionally and you would have to have your aws keys public in the repo.

So not really substitutes.

Dynamic subdomains aren't a problem for this with the smart redirecting logic.

Netlify has a trivial HTTP API so you can use your own CI and not bother with the build limit (and whatever software they happen to have installed on their CI)

I don't believe it can be used for previews. Also, it requires an api key, so can't be used on pull requests from forks on github actions.
