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 Coming across a blog post that covers outdated information happens frequently to me. Years ago, I came across a blog that displayed a "This blog post might be outdated banner" and I liked that approach.
Today, we are finally starting to share our Techradar publicly. What is a Techradar?
The Techradar gives us an objective assessment of our technology portfolio which includes 4 key focus areas: Languages & Frameworks, Methods & Patterns, Tools, and Platforms & Operations.
We've covered the basics of our Docusaurus CI setup already in another blog post. In this blog post, we'll show you how to the build pipeline to lint the nginx configuration used in our Docusaurus setup.
It's been a few months sine we migrated from Silverstripe to Docusaurus for our blog. Quite a few blog posts have been published since then via the CI pipeline we've set up. This blog post covers how we do things.
Since 2013 we have been using Silverstripe and the Silverstripe blog module as our blogging engine. After all those years, it is time to revisit and improve our toolchain as our requirements have changed over the years.
We decided to settle with Docusaurus for now. We'll share the "why" in one of our next blog posts, so stay tuned ;)
