2. Netlify gave me HTTPS out of the box

None of my tools use private information, but privacy in general — how you behave online, not just your identity — is extremely important, and becomes even more so in the modern web. I wanted to migrate as many of my old tools to use SSL. There are free certificate services out there, and I’ve used them, but they all require some sort of fiddling with — a cron job to renew, some external service to rely on that occasionally needs updating, some setting-up in the server. It’s not a lot, but it’s there, and when you have multiple tools...

4. Jamstack drastically simplified the architecture

Migrating from a static server to serverless microservice architecture turned out to also significantly simplify the project and architecture, and made it significantly faster to respond and easier to maintain. You can see the change in the before and after architecture diagrams:

Not the usual serverless migration

I build mostly one-off tools that take some input, crunch the data, and output something back.

The benefits of serverless architecture

Regardless of technology used, the specific architecture of a serverless application has incredible strong benefits that could potentially tip the scales for me and make a rewrite of my tools useful.

As an open source tool advocate, this was an appealing bonus for me. There was no question ...

<p>The most obvious difference...

The most obvious difference is that in my static server, the server itself responded to all requests, and I had to set up layers of caching in order to fortify it in case of a sudden uptick. The caching strategy was a mixed one – I used an external service for the results and static pages, and us...

The idea of serverless for a tool that is mostly static content is appealing. Generating assets on build and treating the delivery of pages as a distributed CDN (generated on-build rather than on-request) means huge gains in performance for the...

1. Seamless serverless deployment

You can (and I did) deploy out of GitHub in a standard hosting server, but the sheer ease-of-use Netlify offers — and the integration with CI and CD tools right out of the box with incredibly easy configuration — means I don’t need to deal with all of this myself on the server side. When you have...

3. On-Demand Builders made caching functions easy

Initially, caching was a bit of a challenge. As I mentioned before, my tools usually require a bit of a heavy operation in the back end, and are designed to be shared. If even one analyzed URL gets shared and becomes semi-viral, the server might work overtime and kill my performance — or, in the ...

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Jamyson Haug

Laetitia Berton
