Here's my boring technology.
I've built Libr (https://librapp.com https://librapp.com), a full social networking platform designed to fill the void Tumblr left behind.
The hosting is serverless for both the front end assets and back end no servers to maintain and infinitely scalable.
Libr has a front end progressive web app built with VueJS hosted on S3 with CloudFlare in front.
The back end API is hosted on Lambda. By using serverless framework things are portable. I could easily migrate to another serverless provider or even host my own.
Both the front and back end use the same programming language, TypeScript.
The database is Elasticsearch, just like WordPress.com (they don't use MySQL for most things).
Each month, I receive a nice little invoice from AWS for under $1 for the hosting. So far CloudFlare is free for me.
I built everything by myself, with no team. I have had input from Libr users on feature requests and UI improvements.
- ultrasounder 7y agoIs you site down? I am unable to access it right now.
- aussieguy1234 7y agoIt's up. Unless S3/CloudFlare go down, it shouldn't go down
