I'm the author of "One Cent Blog" thanks for the mention glad it helped you. One interesting difference between the approach described in my blog post(or any other static method) is that you are not relying on a server or a database that can fall over if you get a lot of traffic from say HN. Having static files is a blessing because it scales wonderfully.
The approach in this post relies on maintaining infrastructure, keeping it up to date and patched which for me is a lot of extra work I'd rather not do. Using a standard VPS it's a lot more expensive too.
- codazoda 10y agoI do this with jekyll and github but without s3 or travis-ci. I skimmed over the blog but couldn't understand what value s3 adds vs letting github host it. Cloudflare can do the https bits with github directly.
- K0nserv 10y agoThe main value is escaping the constraints on plugins and gems you are able to use with Jekyll on GitHub pages. Don't remember of the top of my head but I believe it's pretty limited.
