My Blog Stack

Dec 9, 2020

This blog is written in Hugo and deployed to Google App Engine as a static site. “Whoa whoa whoa” you might say, a static site? Sure. App Engine handlers are basically nginx listeners and you can specify static content, default index.html, etc, so why not? You don’t have to define a script endpoint at all even and I’d argue it’s actually easier to get a static site up and running here than it is to use a bucket with an endpoint and a load balancer. Plus, I get all the other stuff that comes with App Engine when and if I need it, without having to move anything.
