• terraform

  501 41,178 9.9 Go

  Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.

  

As already pointed out all this is created as Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with terraform. I should mention that I took a shortcut here and instead of writing my own code to do the task I went up using Nickolas Armstrong's code, with a few changes some additions from me. If you are starting from scratch his repo is quite useful and could be used as is. However, I already had a state bucket with encryption and logging enabled, so I haven't used that part of the code.

  :globe_with_meridians: Jekyll is a blog-aware static site generator in Ruby

  

When I decided to resurrect my personal blog a couple of months back I was pretty sure that I want something fast and small that won't require time to maintain. This narrowed down my choices to the static site frameworks like Hugo and Jekyll. As the latter is built on Ruby, which I'm not a big fan of, Hugo took the crown.
