META Post - Blog Infrastructure

Static Website Generation

I write all my posts in markdown and use jekyll to generate a static HTML/JS website. I use a modifed version of the Sidey Theme Sidey Theme.

Version Control

All code and content is stored and pushed to a private GitLab repo.

Analytics

Simple website analytics are collected through the personal version of goatcounter.com

Domain Hosting

dannysalzman.com is registered on namecheap.com

Website Hosting

I use a free Netlify.com account to host dannysalzman.com. It is a static website. That’s why it’s so SNAPPY and FAST!

Deployment

The Gitlab repo is connected to my Netlify account. Whenever I push a change to ‘Master’ in Gitlab that creates a post commmit hook to Netlify to rebuild and deploy the website with the latest code.
