blua.blue Serverless Framework Node Express API on AWS

This POC is based on the serverless node/express/api template with added support for s3 bucket storage and rendering.

Setup

• Create a bucket and ensure that your AWS cli AIM has the required permissions to read & write to this bucket.
• Change line 8 of handler.js accordingly: const bucketName = 'my-article-storage-bucket';

Usage

Deployment

Install dependencies with:

npm install

and then deploy with:

serverless deploy

Enhance

The current setup is a POC to ease local development (when using serverless-local). Ultimately, you may want to set up your bucket as a website and permanently render what is now done in app.get('/:slug?) to HTML files (pug.compileFile) to enjoy a static blog.

blua.blue webhook POC

This little repo can be run either with node or PHP and serves as a proof of concept for blua.blue based blogs without using the API or SDKs. Both the PHP-version and the node-version are based on a total of less than 75 lines of code. The PHP version is even completely free of dependencies.

The goal of this project is was to create the easiest possible setup to host your own blog.

That's it. Enjoy
