442: Pens are Actually Websites

Stephen and Chris jump on the podcast to talk about our (ahem, super cool) deployment feature.

Any Pen can be a website!

Well, they kinda are already, but you know what I mean.

If you're a PRO user all you do is click a button and the Pen is instantly deployed at a *.codepen.app website. From there, it's pretty trivial to update a domain you own's DNS records to point to it, if you want to. Subdomains are a good choice, partially because they are free.

Why is CodePen a good place to host? We take care of the asset decaching, everything is CDN-backed and super fast, deployment is instant, it's DDoS proof, and it's just included in your PRO plan without silly complicated limits.
