First Post

If you can read this, the site is on.

Here were some of my requirements and my choice located in parentheses

  • easy to build on my mac (built on my mac)
  • static site (Hugo)
  • uses SSL certs and defaulitng to https (AWS Certificate Manager)
  • hosted in the cloud in cheap storage, not a server (AWS S3)
  • uses a CDN (AWS CloudFront)
  • uses my domain, eissfeldt.com (AWS Route53)

I leaned heavily on these sites to build this.
