I use AWS CodeBuild to build and then deploy this Hugo static site to s3. The site is also sat behind Amazon’s CloudFront CDN and after a sucessful deployment I wanted to delete the cache automatically so I could see the changes from the build immedietly.
... ➦I was recently doing some load testing for a client and when uploading our Taurus YAML tests into the Blazemeter console we recieved the following error:
... ➦I have been playing around with .NET Core and Blazor recently to create a client side application. When it came to deploying the site I thought I would try using something different, in this case it was [Amazon’s Amplify] (https://aws.amazon.com/amplify/) which appears to be Amazon’s answer to Netlify.
... ➦This is a quick cheat sheet for the steps involved to create a manual pipeline to deploy a static site with CDN and HTTPS to AWS automatically on commit, the simple solution nowadays is to use [Amazon’s Amplify] (https://aws.amazon.com/amplify/) but that wasn’t around back when I had to do this, but you might also need it if you have some non standard build requirements.
... ➦I needed to use a custom docker image for some Dotnet Core 3 work with Amazon CodeBuild and hit into a few issues that took a bit of digging around to find, so thought I’d leave the here should anyone else need the same info.
... ➦This is a dumping ground for software development quotes I have collected over the years that resonated with me (work in progress):
... ➦The documentation seems to be a bit sparse when it comes to specifying connection strings with the Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.StackExchangeRedis NuGet package.
... ➦Turns out adding XSRF, CSRF, See-Surf or whatever the name we call it now to an Angular app with a .NET Core Web API is really really easy.
... ➦Images on the internet should always be optimized where possible to reduce the load time of your websites. Of course the best solution is to use a CDN but sometimes for whatever reason like me you inherit some folders full of unoptimized images you can run the following commands to reduce the load on your server. These could also be added to batch files and run in the scheduler if required.
