Front‑end frameworks used for static/serverless apps

These frameworks build to static assets or are first‑class in static‑web‑app guides (e.g., Azure Static Web Apps), and their builds can be deployed on Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Actions, or Cloudflare Pages.43

  • Angular (static build) – Angular CLI can build static bundles suitable for static hosts.4
  • React (Create React App) – CRA builds static bundles commonly deployed to Netlify, Vercel, and GitHub Pages.4

All of these either:

  • Generate static HTML/CSS/JS that you can drop onto Netlify/Vercel/GitHub Pages/Cloudflare Pages, or
  • Are front‑end frameworks explicitly documented for static web app deployments, which you can pair with serverless functions or Workers when you need backend logic.3421
