Since last year, we have been using the Technology Radar solution built by AOE to power the bitExpert TechRadar.

One year ago, we shared our initial Techradar version with you. Today, it is time for an update and to highlight what has changed.

I can't really recall when we started blogging initially, but we rebooted the bitExpert back in October of 2006, and ever since we migrated all content to newer blogging platforms. Back in the days we used b2evolution as blogging platform, moved to Wordpress, moved to Silverstripe Blog, and finally last year transitioned to Docusaurus.

In this blog post, I've covered how our CI setup looks like to test, build and deploy Docusaurus on our Nomad cluster. However, the blog post was missing the Nomad configuration, which we'll cover in this blog post in detail.

Can our latest blog posts be rendered on our bitExpert GitHub organization page? This was the challenge I tried to solve. Apparently, yes. In this blog post, I cover all the steps needed to achieve that in this blog post.

Last week Docusaurus released version 3.0.0 and we managed to upgrade our blog without many issues.

As said before, we are still happy with Docusaurus as our blogging platform. However, Docusaurus being a static page generator, it comes with a few challenges in regard to scheduling and publishing blog posts.

One year ago, we switched from our homegrown Sliverstripe blog solution to Docusaurus. Time to look back and see if the move was worth it.

While improving the page indexing of our blog, I realized that Google still had old urls stored that aren't valid anymore. The challenge in this case: The urls in question could only be identified via specific get parameters.

Tech changes, quite rapidly. Coming across a blog post that covers outdated information happens frequently to me. Years ago, I came across a blog that displayed a "This blog post might be outdated banner" and I liked that approach.
