New website with GatsbyJS and S3

2/7/2019

It's that time again to redo my website from scratch, this time with GatsbyJS and Contentful. By previously having decoupled the content management with Contentful, I only need to redo the frontend. Having previously used GatsbyJS for the Cinelandmarks project, I decided it's a more modern alternative to Jekyll for creating a static (but dynamic seeming) website.

Also, the new site is hosted entirely on AWS' S3. The domain is registered with Ionos, but the DNS points to a Cloudfront distribution which sits in front of the S3 bucket that hosts the website content.
