Migration to Cloudflare Pages
- 23 December 2021
What started as a custom content management system quickly moved to WordPress to improve its maintainability and that solution served its purpose over the years. Having an easy web-based editor to maintain every is a good thing, but sadly also a bad thing. WordPress is a known target for attacks and you have to keep up to not be compromised, but this also means you have to keep up with how WordPress generates its pages otherwise the pages will not be shown correctly.
To reduce time and complexity, another solution was required as deploying WordPress with content every time wasn’t very effective. Most of the content was already in Markdown format to bypass certain limitations the next step came how to deploy them from GitHub. Static website generators like Jekyll, Sphinx, and Pelican came into the picture as they would remove the dependencies for installing code and a database.
