This year around June I completely moved away from WIX. Now I have made the blog purely serverless(i.e., not self managed) anymore.

  • Migrated the blog from simple React to NextJS so both frontend and backend can run in a single codebase.
  • Moved all data to supabase which supports up to ~500 MB, which is enough for now. While I would prefer a fully open source alternative, this was a practical way to move away from AWS quickly.
  • Using cloudfare for domain hosting and DNS.
  • For app hosting I am using Vercel. It is easy to deploy and maintain, and the 6,000 builds per month limit is more than sufficient for my current needs.
  • Using cloudinary for image hosting. It was simple to set up and works well with the rest of the stack.
