• Increasing Your Cloud Function Development Velocity Using Dynamically Loading Python Classes

  One of the issues developers can encounter when developing in Cloud Functions is the time taken to deploy changes. You can help reduce this time by dynamically loading some of your Python classes. This allows you to make iterative changes to just the area of your application that you’re working on. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Need some advice on API key storage

  I've been looking at Google Secret Manager which sounds promising but I've not been able to find any examples or tutorials that help with the actual practical details of best practice or getting this working. I'm currently reading about Cloud Functions which also sound promising but again, I'm just going deeper and deeper into GCP without feeling like I'm gaining any useful insights. Source: 7 months ago

• Building a (Virtual) Events Site

  The site is deployed to Netlify. There's really nothing special to share about that since Netlify makes the deployment super easy. A quirk of Hugo on Netlify means that I do need to specify the Hugo version as an environment variable but otherwise the deployment just works. One specific requirement of my site is to override the default Hugo build method to include the -F or --buildFuture flag because my events are... - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• My brother asked me to build a website for his new small business

  Cons are that it might be a bit heavy hitting for a simple website.
