The initial idyll: why Cloudflare Pages seemed like the perfect choice

July 25, 2022—this was the first commit on my blog’s Github repo. Previously, I used WordPress with satisfaction, but I realized I was using less than 10% of the CMS’s features for my blog, which required continuous maintenance to avoid security risks. I started looking for different tools that could give me the possibility to write a blog in a simple format (Markdown), without the need for a backend or a database, and with minimal maintenance.

Intro

For my new venture as a freelance DevOps Engineer, I decided to build a website using Flask as the backend and a template (named “Simone - Personal Portfolio Template”), purchased from ThemeForest, as the frontend.
Nothing too complicated; HTML, CSS, and Javascript do 90% of the work, and the remaining 10% consists of the Flask backend, which handles internal functionalities like the contact form with Captcha, page routing, the endpoint for Kubernetes livenessProbe, and all the search engine optimization bits (robots.txt and sitemap).
