@Jordan. That completely defeats the purpose of running the JAM stack! https://jamstack.org/
The main idea is to write your application in client-side technologies, use service APIs instead of writing your own server code and host it on a global CDN network. Google is in a very good position for this but not having the ability to forward HTTP to HTTPS (or other redirects) is a foot gun! I guess it's only Microsoft Azure and AWS that are in the game for the moment. Too bad google.. oh wait.. I just saw firebase https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/... Damn, an entire day of work lost to useless Google documentation. Great way to onboard a new developer to your cloud solution! https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/hosting-static-website On Tuesday, October 17, 2017 at 8:49:11 PM UTC+2, Jordan (Cloud Platform Support) wrote: > > Redirects should occur on your backend configuration.
