Vercel Landing Page

1

Vercel

Vercel is the platform for frontend developers, providing the speed and reliability innovators need to create at the moment of inspiration.

I can already feel some of you itching out to furiously type: Why not use Vercel / Whatever other company that does the same thing / whatever instead! :angry foaming face:.

Next.js Landing Page

Next.js

A small framework for server-rendered universal JavaScript apps

The setup I had before in this blog before was a NextJS / Vercel / Headless CMS combo. I hated it, way too many pieces for my use case, and didn't align with my preferred workflow.

Amazon S3 Landing Page

Amazon S3

Amazon S3 is an object storage where users can store data from their business on a safe, cloud-based platform. Amazon S3 operates in 54 availability zones within 18 graphic regions and 1 local region.

Static websites, I believe it is one of the easiest and cheapest things to have on AWS. We could simply just use an S3 bucket and put all the output generated by Zola there and call it a day but this is neither elegant nor cost-effective.
