Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited integrations beyond AWS services

   Discharge primarily integrates with Amazon S3 and CloudFront, lacking support for other popular CDNs or hosting platforms.

2. 02

   Complex setup for advanced configurations

   Setting up custom domain names and SSL certificates requires a deep understanding of AWS services and manual configuration steps.

3. 03

   Small community and limited documentation

   The open-source project has a small contributor base, leading to less frequent updates and sparse documentation for troubleshooting issues.

What it does well

• Automates the deployment process for static websites to Amazon S3.
