This repo holds the project files for building my portfolio website. The website has been built using:
- Hugo web framework with the Hugo Profile theme
- Terraform for building infrastructure on Amazon Web Services. See the Infrastructure section below.
- Github Actions for CI/CD
This theme eases building a portfolio website as most elements of the website are configured in the config.yaml file.
The deployable website i.e. the public/ directory is then generated on the fly and pushed to a public Amazon S3 bucket using GitHub Actions workflow when a pull request is merged.
The website is deployed to a public Amazon S3 bucket that is the origin of a CloudFront distribution. Everything has been built using Terraform (see the terraform/ directory).
- Terraform - This Github repo has been integrated with Terraform Cloud to manage the state for the AWS infrastructure this website runs on. On creating a pull request, the Terraform code is checked for formatting and validated using a GitHub Actions workflow and a Terraform plan is triggered on Terraform Cloud.
- AWS - The website files are stored on an S3 bucket which serves as the origin of a CloudFront distribution. The chriswachira.com domain's DNS is managed using Route53, where an alias A record is mapped to the CloudFront's distribution domain name.
Anyone is welcome to improve or fix any aspect of this project!
