Booting the blog

ready.

Welcome to the first post. This blog is intentionally boring infrastructure: markdown files in a git repo, compiled to static HTML by a small Node script, served from S3 behind CloudFront. No servers, no database, no runtime.

How a post becomes a page

1. I write a .md file in content/posts/.
2. build.js parses the frontmatter and renders the body to HTML.
3. The output lands in dist/posts/<slug>/index.html.
4. A push to main triggers GitHub Actions, which syncs dist/ to S3 and invalidates the CDN cache.

Why serverless

• Costs cents per month.
• Scales to zero when nobody’s reading.
• Nothing to patch at 3am.

The best server is the one you don’t run.

More soon.
