Architecture

Splinesoft.net is a static site...

• Generated by Jekyll
• Hosted on Amazon S3 and Amazon Cloudfront for great uptime and incredibly low cost
• With a free SSL certificate from AWS Certificate Manager for HTTPS

Running Locally

It's super easy to build the site and test it locally:

jekyll serve --watch

Publishing

rake publish automates the entire deployment process:

1. Generate the site with Jekyll.
2. GZip HTML files, which can be served compressed directly from S3 for stupendously fast page load times.
3. Upload GZip'd files to S3.
4. Upload remaining files (images, CSS, JS) to S3.
5. There is no step 5.

Files are uploaded to S3 using s3cmd, a handy command-line tool for S3.

Thanks!
