I chose Modal because it made running data-heavy workloads feel effortless. A lot of alternatives required more setup or infrastructure thinking, but with Modal I could just focus on the logic and let it handle the scaling and execution. It’s been especially useful for processing environmental data in the background without worrying about servers. It strikes a really nice balance between power and simplicity, which made building and iterating on My!hū much smoother.

Netlify offered the simplest path from build to global deployment with minimal overhead. Compared to alternatives, it stood out for its seamless CI/CD, edge delivery, and instant rollbacks—critical for iterating quickly during development. It also pairs well with a modern, API-driven stack, letting me focus on the product rather than infrastructure, while still delivering fast, reliable performance at scale.

Supabase gave me a fast, scalable backend without the overhead of managing infrastructure. Compared to alternatives, it stood out for its Postgres foundation, real-time capabilities, and simple API layer—making it easy to ingest and serve live environmental data. It also offered a strong balance between flexibility and speed: I could move quickly, like with Firebase, but still retain full control over my data and schema.
