    CFE.dev source code

  • Ultimately the structure has been flexible enough to expand from smaller "meetup" style virtual events, to full virtual conferences, to handling live streams and interview style shows. And, the costs are (relatively) low, meaning I don't go broke running it. You can actually check out the source code on GitHub.

  • Hugo

    The world’s fastest framework for building websites.

  • The site has been built with the Hugo static site generator since day one. Back in 2017, when I was originally building the site, I was a big fan of Hugo for its flexibility and speed. Hugo, which is built in Go, is known for extremely fast build times (for example, my 1200+ pages generate in about 7 seconds). This wasn't important when I built it, but it has been beneficial as the site grew large. And, while a lot has changed in the web development framework world since 2017, Hugo still does what I need it to.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
