Hello, World
Starting a new blog. Here's what to expect.
So I'm starting a blog. Again.
I've had various places to write over the years — scattered across GitHub gists, Twitter threads that went nowhere, and notes apps that accumulated dust. This is an attempt to consolidate that into one place.
What you'll find here
Mostly technical writing about things I'm working on or figuring out:
- Infrastructure and DevOps (Apache NiFi, Kubernetes, cloud stuff)
- Software engineering practice
- Occasional notes on tools, workflows, and whatever else I find interesting
How this is built
The site is a Next.js app. Posts are MDX files in a git repo. Gists and public repos from my GitHub surface on the home feed alongside posts.
Comments are powered by Giscus, backed by GitHub Discussions. You'll need a GitHub account to comment — I get notified via GitHub.
Code is open — you can see it at github.com/benkelly/blog.
The RSS feed
If you use an RSS reader (you should), the feed is at /api/rss.
That's it. Let's see how this goes.
