I recently migrated my site to Azure Static Web App (SWA) using their free tier and Hugo to generate the static webpage from my markdown blog notes. This has really cleaned up the infrastructure, operations and security of the blog.gurfin.se-site.
This new setup allows me to to DDoS protection, security header injection, SSL-encryption, WAF, Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment, version control, CDN caching and proxying. And all the blog posts are written in Markdown in Obsidian or Vim:
Is this the tech bro equivalent of dying your hair a different color? /s
I have wanted to move away from the WordPress based solution that I used for blog.gurfin.se for some time now. Given that WordPress is prone to… inviting, uninvited, guests… I wanted to move to something that was more secure and lighter weight.
