Since mid of 2022, we've been using Docusaurus as blogging platform. In general, we are happy Docusaurus users, although it comes with a few limitations due to the nature of a static site generator.
When we migrated to Docusaurus in 2022, we were looking for options what consent management tool to use and how to integrate it into our Docusaurus setup.
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.
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.
