Investigate supporting static site hosting #108

Closed bitspittle closed 2 years ago

bitspittle commented 2 years ago

Currently, the kobweb flow I'm using uses Cloud Run, where you set up a webserver running ktor that serves your site and handles API requests. It looks like this will cost ~$10 / month at a minimum.

But if all you're doing is serving static html / js, you could probably skip the kobweb server part and just host exported artifacts, which should be way way way cheaper.

This is now doable (and I'm already using it!) via kobweb export --layout static
