The only time the server needs to do anything other than serve static files is to recompile the site using Jekyll every time we push new commits to origin/master. New blog posts are added by creating new files in the _posts/ directory. |
That's cool! To make our site run faster, and super secure, we use cloudflare as our CDN "front door" to cache pages. We also just turned on the new fast web standard "Railgun", so hopefully our pages will load faster then they have in the past, which was just as fast too
That's an interesting way to update blog posts. Very cool!
Keep up the good work!
