Tool by the Otomatzia editorial team · source content checked on
Overview
It suits a team that wants to publish a business interface without managing a traditional web server. You can start from a Git repository or an existing project and check the result in a separate environment. For a process that receives client data, check not only the page but also where the request is sent and what error message the user receives.
