Notable Improvements
- The backend of the site has been fully ported to AWS Lambda and RDS. These changes will improve stability and resiliency of the site as well as drastically reduce the infrastructure costs from $160 down to roughly $40 a month.
- The first videos of the new Building a Serverless App with Serverless Stack. I’m hoping to work through a number of videos in the coming weeks during downtime so stay tuned!
- UI Improvements - some elements of the site were in need of some design improvements. If you spot any parts of the site that could use some love then please let me know!
