• Migrating away from medium

  Today I took the step to migrate away from the Medium platorm and revert back to a Hugo and AWS setup. Over the past few years I have been blogging (fairly infrequently) on the platform and was mainly attracted to getting paid per post behind their paywall. However more recently I’ve came to realise I don’t really write content to get paid $3.99 per month (Max i’ve been paid is $50 for an article, then it drops to pennies).

In the spirit of keeping this as simple as possible you will be able to copy and paste all commands and get a working setup however this will be super insecure as passwords and things will be set using the AWS cli.

• Going Serverless with AWS – Serverless User Authentication – Part 1

  What is Serverless? Serverless architectures refer to applications that significantly depend on third-party services (knows as Backend as a Service or “BaaS”) or on custom code that’s run in ephemeral containers (Function as a Service or “FaaS”), the best known vendor host of which currently is AWS Lambda. By using these ideas, and by moving much behaviour to the front end, such architectures remove the need for the traditional ‘always on’ server system sitting behind an application.
