Colophon (Interconnected)
The site is served by Apache2 with mod_wsgi from a lowish-end Ubuntu instance hosted at Digital Ocean. I don’t use an dedicated app server, or a CDN or cache. Posts have hit the top of Hacker News a handful of times without load struggle; this approach seems fine.
Another drop in the bucket of anecdotal evidence that I do not need the complexity of a git based workflow, Netlify, etc.
But what I lose in simplicity I gain in control.
This is the unspoken trade off of static site generators. I want control. I want dynamism.
