Tech Stacks

Welcome to the tech stacks page where we will talk about the platforms that’s used to make this website possible.

Static Site Generator / CMS#

After some level of assessment on what technology makes sense and what I build, I decided on Hugo as the web platform static site generator. Main reasons are the following

• The solution should work with a static web site hosting service.
• I wanted something simple but still write some code and configurations.
• I wanted to use something that’s not npm based.
• I wanted a static site generator that doesn’t come bundled with a front end solution.

Theme#

We’re using Doks. For the theme site please visit https://gethyas.com/themes/doks/

CICD#

We’re using

• GitHub for code repo
• Hugo’s out of the box GitHub actions for pipeline
• Azure’s static web app plus hugo build preset

Currently it takes about ~1 min for code /content to be pushed and content to show up on the website.

Static Site Hosting and Certificates#

Site hosting is being handled through Azure’s free tier static web app.

Azure also offers free certificates in their free tier.
