Hello World: The Stack Behind This Blog
Hello World!
Every tech blog needs a “Hello World” post. Instead of just testing the fonts, I thought I would share the actual stack powering this site.
I skipped the bloated, expensive cloud setups and built something simple, fast, and highly reliable.
🛠️ The Setup
Here is the lightweight infrastructure behind the screen:
- Framework: Astro – Keeping it static, blazing fast, and native MDX-ready.
- Hosting: Hetzner VPS – Running on-prem style on bare-metal virtual servers because performance doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
- Source Control: GitHub – Where the code lives and breathes.
- Automation: CI/CD Pipelines – Fully automated
testing and😉 deployment. A singlegit pushtakes the code from my local machine straight into production. - Routing: DNS – Wired up and configured to make sure you actually land on this page.
🚀 What’s Next?
Now that the plumbing is done and the servers are humming, it’s time to write about what actually matters: backend systems, .NET, databases, and architectural decisions.
Stay tuned for real-world production insights. No theoretical fluff, just code that works.
