Welcome to Developing Traveler
The first post on this blog — who I am, what this is about, and how it was built.
Welcome to Developing Traveler — a blog about software development, travel, and the intersection of the two.
How this site is built
The blog runs on Astro, a static site framework that keeps things fast and simple — pages are pre-rendered at build time and served as plain HTML with no JavaScript overhead. Posts are written in Markdown and picked up automatically via Astro’s content collections.
It’s deployed on Cloudflare Pages, which builds the site on every push to GitHub and serves it from Cloudflare’s global edge network. No servers to manage, deploys in under a minute.
The whole stack is deliberately minimal: Markdown files in a git repo, a build step, and a CDN. Adding a post is just writing a .md file and pushing.
Let’s go
More soon.
