✨ That new blog smell ✨

It turns out I'm not very good at blogging, in fact the last time (and first time) I wrote a blog post on the previous incarnation of this blog was November 2020. In lieu of biting the bullet and writing a second blog post, I thought it was about time I rebuilt my blog again! and not on Kubernetes this time

My previous blog was built using Gatsby and hosted on Netlify. This stack works perfectly well but over the last few years I've been using a lot of Next.js on Vercel. The performance of Next.js isn't as good as Gatsby, but it's a lot more flexible at runtime and the ecosystem is huge - so it's a worthwhile trade-off. I was going to host this on Vercel like I've done with my other Next.js projects, but I thought I'd give Cloudflare Pages a go this time instead. After all, I do work for Cloudflare now!

See you again probably in 4 years folks 🫡
