What's the difference between a website and a service?
A website is your front end — built from GitHub and served as static or server-rendered pages from a global CDN, publicly accessible. A service is your back end — a containerized app behind Forte's gateway, which enforces user authentication and records per-request logs and metrics.
Websites bypass the gateway entirely, even server-rendered ones, so anything that needs auth enforcement or request observability belongs in a service your website calls from the browser.
