Frequently Asked Questions

Netlify vs Chita Cloud comparison

Can I host my frontend on Netlify and backend on Chita Cloud?

Yes! This is a common pattern. Host your React/Next.js frontend on Netlify (their strength) and your backend API with database on Chita Cloud. Connect via API calls. Best of both platforms.

Does Netlify include PostgreSQL database hosting?

No, Netlify focuses on static sites and edge functions. For databases, you need external services like Neon, Supabase, or PlanetScale. Chita Cloud includes PostgreSQL as an add-on from €7/month with your backend deployment.

What's the difference between Netlify Functions and Chita Cloud backends?

Netlify Functions are serverless (cold starts, execution time limits). Chita Cloud provides always-on backend processes (no cold starts, WebSockets, long-running jobs). Different architectures for different needs.

Can I deploy Python/Django or Node.js/Express on Netlify?

Netlify supports serverless functions but not traditional backend frameworks. For full Django, Flask, Express, or Go applications with databases, Chita Cloud is designed for that use case. Netlify excels at static sites.

Which platform is better for my project?

Choose based on architecture: Netlify for static sites + edge functions + Jamstack. Chita Cloud for backend APIs + databases + always-on processes + WebSockets. Many developers use both together.
