CI 💣Under Continuous Development💣

GatsbyJS is a free and open source static website builder build on React. It's one implementation of the JAMstack idea which creates high speed webpages.

Once upon a time this site consisted of:

GatsbyJS Github Actions GraphQL Cloud Storage React Cloud Load Balancing NodeJS
GatsbyJS Github Actions GraphQL Google Cloud Storage React Cloud Load Balancing NodeJS

But NoOps Life is Best - Edit 8/1/2020

Recently I realized that I don't want to spend my free time working on the same things I work on at work. I'd rather focus on learning more about the areas I am not an expert in. That means learning more javascript, python, react, and graphql and spending less time configuring releases and maintaining pipelines and doing all the cloud things...

So, I migrated this site to GatsbyCloud. This eliminated a lot of the normal tasks I would associate with hosting a small site like this. Load balancing, static asset storage, ssl cert renewal, dns updates... All eliminated. Best part: Cost of hosting this site went from about $20 per month (cloud load balancing is expensive) to $0 per month.

The platform above has been replaced with:
