Simplest way to store form data for static website?
I'm building a landing page, and I need to collect some information of those visitors who sign up. My website is completely static (basically a one page fancy HTML) and this would be the only part where I would need some server side code and database if done the traditional way. I'm keen to try and avoid that.
I was wondering if there was a simple plug n play solution to store user form submission data using just an api. What do you guys use?
Edit: Thank you for all your useful responses, guys!

Biased because I am one of the founders, but Basin is another option. It has a pretty generous free tier, and is very cost effective if you need more advanced features for your particular use case.
I would recommend you take a look at https://fabform.io . You can create static site forms with ease, and it has a anti-spam feature to reduce form spam. A free plan is available.

Just build an HTML form & POST data to MailThis.to/[email protected]
The data arrives in your mailbox seconds later. Even attachments!
I use google sheets with PHP. Few lines of config and then one line inserting an array into a new row in google sheets. Shouldn't take more than 10 mins.

Edit: I guess PHP counts as server side code, so sorry if this doesn't work for you.
Edit2: More detailed video guide https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iTZyuszEkxI this is what i followed while setting mine up.
Check out Google Forms. It's the de fact standard for this kind of thing.
