Server for Blog

Deployment

The production server is hosted on AWS, and gets deployed automatically upon a push to master.

You can also deploy to the dev stack for testing:

• Create an AWS IAM Profile with the following AWS Managed Policies:

  • IAMFullAccess
  • AmazonS3FullAccess
  • CloudWatchLogsFullAccess
  • AWSCloudFormationFullAccess
  • AWSLambda_FullAccess
  • AmazonAPIGatewayAdministrator
  • AmazonDynamoDBFullAccess

• Using the key and secret from the above profile, run:

  npm run sls -- config credentials --provider aws --key [key] --secret [secret]

• npm run sls -- deploy --stage dev

Development

./bin has some manual scripts that may be useful. Run them with npx ts-node ./bin/[script].ts.

Upload Content

This is a way too manual, especially since I have de-normalized data. A decent next step would be add an authoring experience.

Add data for articles into ArticlesTable.

Add data for series into SeriesTable.

Optimize Images (see below) and add them to PublicBucket.

Optimize Images

1. Crop to a max-width of 1600px
2. Compress to a bit level of 8
3. Upload both the original <name>-original.jpeg and the compressed <name>.web-optimized.jpeg to the PublicBucket S3 Bucket.
