## What it is
Surge is a Node.js command-line tool for publishing static web projects (HTML, CSS, JS) to the Surge CDN with a single command. It supports custom domains, free SSL, SPA routing via 200.html, custom 404 pages, and non-interactive token-based publishing for CI/CD pipelines.

## Use cases
- deploy a static site from the command line
- publish a frontend build folder to a CDN
- host a single-page app with client-side routing
- set up free custom domains with SSL for static projects
- automate static site deployment in CI pipelines
- quickly share a prototype or demo online

## When to choose
- you want one-command deployment of static sites or SPAs
- you need free hosting with custom domains and automatic SSL
- you want simple token-based publishing from CI/CD or npm scripts

## When to avoid
- you need server-side rendering or backend logic
- you require full infrastructure control or self-hosting of the CDN itself
- you need advanced features like password protection or custom redirects on the free plan
