Motivation

I want a blog with the lowest cost while still providing low latency and convenient development.

Overview

I build this blog with multiple Jekyll templates which are compiled into multiple static HTML and JavaScript files. I use Terraform to develop the cloud architecture using:

• Gateway
• S3 Storage
• Functions

To automate the build pipeline, I use GitHub Actions to automatically run the Terraform build and deployment.

To reduce costs and latency, I use Cloudflare as a CDN.

Why not directly use GitHub Pages?

1. It is blocked in mainland China.
2. For flexible architectures with multiple sites and templates.

Total cost: < $0.05 per month.
