Deploy to a free hosting platform

Sometimes people ask me to deploy their websites to a free hosting platform, like Cloudflare Pages, Github Pages, Netlify or Vercel. Their reasoning is often that these platforms can handle endless amounts of requests and that they are cheaper to use. But is this really true? Not immune to the Digg effect The Digg effect is the effect that a spike in traffic brings a website down. You would think that most of these (free) big static hosting platforms are immune to the Digg effect, because they all use a CDN.
