The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

@djeglin Yay! You could use Netlify Functions as your API layer for anything. Giving you all those nice things like automated builds, branch builds, preview builds, A/B testing, rollbacks.. that you enjoy already on your sites... but for #serverless functions.

Phil Hawksworth @philhawksworth • October 10th 2018 replying to this from @djeglin
@djeglin @Netlify Yep. Deploying a Netlify Function results in an endpoint that you can access over HTTP. You can use them with anything that speaks HTTP.

By default it exposes:
https://your.domain/.netlify/functions/function-file-name

The _redirects API also gives full control over that URL

@codemzy @Netlify 👍 In those few places where pre-rendering at build time is not going to cut it, you might indeed use functions to server-render. This example explores using #expressJS that way:

@gauntface @Netlify Thanks Matt!
I wish I could take any of the credit. The product and platform teams work so hard to make the experience that slick. I'm constantly in awe.

Glad it looks good to you.
...what took you so long? 😘

@gauiis @biilmann @Netlify Indeed. It's an abstraction. Like the power to your server racks. Netlify manage all sorts of infrastructure so you won't have to.

@petebray @NetlifySupport @Netlify That's most odd. Sorry for the slow response here on twitter, Pete... the better route to get support is via https://www.netlify.com/support

I recommend sending this question there so that it is sure to get into the support system.

@DKundel @Netlify You can't force stop a running deploy through the UI. I recommend letting the support team know. They'll help if this has not cleared itself.

Best route to that team 👉 https://www.netlify.com/support

"We’re not trying to make managing infrastructure easy. We want to make it totally unnecessary"

I love this sentiment expressed by @biilmann while talking about @Netlify's latest funding round! 👌 https://twitter.com/VentureBeat/status/1049645887331454976

@HenriHelvetica I was JUST looking into that!

@sankalped @Netlify Great. Both excellent options.

If it helps, I blogged a little about the most popular static site generators a month or so ago (and @Neltify should support running most any SSG to generate and deploy your site for you)...

Phil Hawksworth @philhawksworth • October 9th 2018 replying to this from @sankalped
@sankalped @Netlify It doesn't.
There is no webserver to perform server-side rendering at request-time. Instead think of @Netlify as a CDN to serve your pre-rendered sites. Includes are typically performed by the templating of a SSG at build time.

See https://www.staticgen.com/ for leading SSGs
