Static Sites

The Static Sites buildpack allows you to serve HTML/CSS/JS from a folder using either HTTPD or Nginx.
This buildpack can be used in combination with other buildpacks. For example, you might have a Node.js application that builds a static site into the dist folder. The Static Site buildpack can be used to serve the built content.
