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.

@arranrp Oh! I misunderstood.

No, you need to use the continuous deployment process for that. It triggers various provisioning tasks for the lambdas for you behind the scenes.

@seb_ly ...but I was preparing a whole sales pitch.
I was putting on a suit and everything.
You're already done?

@seb_ly Ooh interesting. Concurrency wouldn't be an issue. The CDN handles many billions of requests per month and very many thousands of request per second.

For bandwidth, the video looks like bulk of the weight, but served by YouTube. Might want to compress those big images though

@seb_ly Sounds like you'd be pushing a ready-built site so you'd never touch build-minutes quotas.

netlify deploy --prod
...and it's done.

Depending on your page-weight and expected epic traffic volumes...

Could be a job for... ⚡️dramatic music ⚡️... the free tier.

@seb_ly Please excuse my sales hat, but this sounds like exactly what Netlify is for.

Either via a drag/drop deploy, the CLI, or pointing it at your files or build in a repo on GitHub.

SSL is free, automatic and auto-renewing. Scaling is sorted.

I’m proud to be a backer of @eleven_ty. It’s a valuable project to me and so a modest monthly show of support was an easy decision.

It also gets your face on a balloon. https://twitter.com/brob/status/1295814367729070081

@LondonCSS @stefanjudis @MikeRiethmuller I only knew it as an exclamation favoured by pirates and other characters. The etymology is new to me. Grim!

@yoanngrange Ha! Yeah!
Nice reminder, I should update that site now that I have tools like serverless functions and far easier hosting available to me.
