Like many developers, I’ve written my own blog software half a dozen times. I’ve probably spent a lot more time tweaking the software than writing posts so this time I decided to do something different. I wanted to keep things as simple as possible but still have an excuse to learn a few new things.
I wound up settling on Hugo hosted on Amazon S3 w/ CloudFront in front of it.
One of the deciding factors that made CloudFront come out on top is that I wanted to see what it’d take to get things served over HTTPS. Given limitations in GitHub pages and S3, CloudFront was the way to go.
