## Motivation
|
||||
|
||||
Creating my own website with blog was something I had in my mind from start of my profesional career after I left school. I had a lot of new experience with development which I wanted to elaborate on and save into a small library so I can take a look back on my thoughts how they evolve over time. This was like 6 years ago. I had a successful first attempt at doing so. I created a wordpress with the simplest theme I've found and wrote [PUT NUMBER OF ARTICLES ] articles. I've published it under a domain of one of the first startups I've been part of. I still have a backup of the _Wordpress_ database somewhere so I can export those articles here when I will feel like doing so. The blog haven't lived for long as the domain once expired and I was not satisfied with it enough to deploy it somewhere else.

||||
|
||||
For all those years I was trying to create it in my spare time (of which wasn't that much appereantly). There were several attempts. One with _Angular_ when it was "the cool kid on the block". Another one with _cycle.js_ which was not that far from being done. I regret it now as it would be really satisfying to finish that one. I had created neat SSR layer which was not really difficult to accomplish with _cycle.js_ as it is reactive and it requires skipping first client render of _virtual-dom_ after page load. I'm still in love with _cycle.js_ but after _sapper_ was released I've found out of its ability to create a nice **static site** I wanted to try it out. I think that the approach of **compiling the source code** as classic client applications have been doing for many years makes a lot of sense on the internet as well. This is the one thing I'd really like to be able to accomplish with reactive frameworks like _cycle.js_.

## How I got my domain
|
||||
|
||||
There was the big boom of new available generic top-level domains released around 2013. More than 1000 new gTLDs have been made available. After that I didn't want a local _(.sk)_ or any common _(.com)_ domain for my personal site. I wanted **.dev** from the first time I saw it. It was very unfortunate decision for me, because the _.dev_ domain was bought entirely by _Google_ and was not available for public until 28th of February 2019. When I found out that this day will come, I was so excited that I'd set up an alarm for it. I was among the first who bought the domain right away after few minutes it was available.
|
||||
|
||||
The **michalvanko.dev** domain celebrates 1 year with the release of this blog post.
|
||||
|
||||
## Build setup
|
||||
|
||||
So I had a domain with no content published on it for few months. But I knew that I'd use it at least for my portfolio page. I was not rushing myself into building it right away. But the time came when had to do it as I wanted to change my employment as I was not satisfied with the one at that time.

|
||||
|
||||
While I was choosing technology stack I was making a decision between static site generators as I wanted to make it as less resource dependant as possible. This lead me to the _sapper_ framework as it supports building (exporting) static assets with efficiency. At first I've wrote the portfolio just in _html_ without need of any <abbr title="Content management system">CMS</abbr>. I wanted to build it really fast and deploy it with some automated pipeline just like <abbr title="Javascript, APIs, Markup">JAM</abbr> apps should be.

|
||||
|
||||
I've chosen to deploy it on _Amazon's S3_ as I have some experience with it and I knew that it won't cost me anything. I had a 1 year free tier still available for my account even that it was 6 years old as I haven't set up any payments yet. _Amazon_ made this neat tool called [_amplify_](https://aws.amazon.com/amplify/) which suits very well for my needs. It supports **git based deployment** so I can setup my site to build whenever I create or edit any article and it will be published right away with purged cache. I just had to setup configuration of build step with _sapper_ so the exported site is correctly uploaded to _S3_ and that was it.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
TODO Add your build config
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
version: 0.1

||||

|
||||

|
||||
cache:
|
||||
paths:
|
||||
- node_modules/**/*
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Mapping _amplified_ app to my domain was easy as well. I didn't even needed to leave _amplify_ console. They've built the setup of the domain right into it so I just had to copy the settings for verification into my domain name registrator and in few minutes it was all synced and done.

Neat part of the _CMS_ are those widgets. In editor they will be presented by appropriate component as well as in the editor preview.
