Docusaurus is a Jamstack SSG (Static Site Generator) mainly intended for documentation and blog websites. It is a Meta Open Source project. Its configuration is done mainly through a JavaScript file called docusaurus.config.js.

Netlify has gained popularity among developers for its ease of use and powerful features. It's a great option for hosting static websites or Jamstack applications.

Jamstack architecture continues to gain popularity as a modern web development approach that focuses on pre-rendered content served from a CDN. Some benefits of Jamstack include better performance, lower cost, and greater scalability. Expect to see growth in Jamstack frameworks like Gatsby, Next.js and Nuxt.js in 2023.

More importantly, Netlify, the creator and stewards of the term Jamstack including it's canonical site, has largely abandoned the term as well, in favor of a "composable web" term that better aligns with their ambitions around becoming a broader enterprise platform including content (with tools like Netlify Connect).

I have been using the hosting environment provided by Netlify for years. I am aware there are several available including Vercelli and Heroku, to name a few, but Netlify was the first I tried and it continues to work well. It links into my Git repos on BitBucket and also offers Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) for experimentation and small projects. Netlify is also a prime advocate of the JAMStack architecture that is gaining considerable interest.

You should check out JamStack. The premise is that the majority of your site is static content and you can push it out to CDNs that are frequently cheap or free.

Perhaps this is worth checking out and utilizing when I have the time to attempt another JAMstack project. Possibly Eleventy?

Recently, as a weekend hobby project, I created a Slack app development framework for Cloudflare Workers and Vercel Edge Functions.

Edge Runtime has become a buzzword in the technology landscape, driving dynamic, low-latency functions in platforms from AWS Lambda@Edge and Cloudflare Workers to Vercel Edge. Emphasizing its importance, Vercel recently changed "experimental-edge" to "edge", signaling official support in their popular Next.js framework.

It seems like the perfect usecase for Cloudflare Workers.

For this tutorial, I’ll use Cloudflare Workers as they’re really fast and easy to set up, but you can use pretty much any other serverless provider with support for JS.

Cloudflare has a wonderful serverless platform called Cloudflare Workers that allows you to write code without worrying about underlying hardware or software. Yesterday, they announced that Workers now have the ability to connect directly over TCP sockets. I want to use this feature to send an APRS packet to CWOP.

Sounds doable with Cloudflare Workers
