Does Manifest supports server less deployment ?
Hi guys, awesome work.
I have a Astro Site for a local business and they can benefit from a light weight CMS to configure their website content. Just wondering if Manifest supports hosting together with my Astro app in a serverless manner
I would imagine there is a need for a external cloud storage to host assets for my use cases
Thank you and awesome work

Hello @Blaise sorry for the delay, it depends on what you expect:
if you want to use Astro SSG with Manifest you can run Manifest locally and edit your data and then build your Astro static website.
However this method is not using a live API for the data. If you want to update your content, even a single coma, you will need to build again and deploy. This method is really adapted for small websites/apps that do not change often. It offers great performance for users and simplifies hosting.
If you want to have a "real" API with live create/read operations you will need to have some storage for the database. You can go Serverless + a DBaaS like neon.tech for example. What's your usual provider ?
Hi @brunobuddy, I wanted my clients to be able to edit their website content via a live API, I suppose I can run Manifest on Astro
server mode ? I was hopping to go for Turso as database + S3 storage for the images/assets. Does Manifest supports this use case currently ?Hello @Blaise unforunately not yet for both. You can switch to Postgres and go to for example neon.tech to host your DB and we are currently working on S3 storage. Should come on the following weeks ! Sorry for the delay
Understood, looking forward to the. New updates !
@Blaise the PR with S3 storage is curently on validation and should be ready very soon. Do you use AWS S3 or another service ?
That's great ! I'm primarily using AWS s3
