Joe Carstairs' personal website

Structure:

├website: My public-facing website └infrastructure: The infrastructure of my website as code

Infrastructure

The infrastructure is on DigitalOcean.

The website is hosted using the App Platform service from DigitalOcean. This is free for static websites, and is quite flexible to add in extra apps as Droplets or Functions at a later time if I so please.

DigitalOcean App Platform re-deploys the website every time there's an update to the main branch in this repo.

All the DigitalOcean infrastructure is managed using Terraform. The code for this is in the infrastructure/ directory.

The domain, however, is registered on AWS. The nameservers registered in AWS have to be kept manually up-to-date with the DigitalOcean nameservers. These shouldn't change, though, so this is unlikely to need intervention more than once.
