The Great Experiment!

TLDR; You can get all the source code for every single aspect of this website right here.

I've made this as an experiment. Of course it's -another blog-, but it's also an experiment in "how cheap can I host an actual headless site, in Azure with somewhat solid architecture" and try to do everything right.

Of course, everything isn't right. But I'm learning, and this has been a great journey. 

My hope is that other people might find inspiration from it, or even better, tell me where I messed up so I can improve. Because headless is HARD. And good headless is even harder as it turns out.

Azure

This will get a proper blogpost "soon", but for now the quick version is that this website is chugging along at around 10 DKK a day. Yes, with a frontend server and a backend server, Blob Storage, Azure SQL Server and (importantly and the biggest part of the budget) an Azure Frontdoor.

So - how am I doing this?

Well, there are two big bets with hosting this site. The first bet is that I will only serve content that can be statically served, or cached to put it bluntly, and the other bet is that I won't be using my Backoffice for more than 4 hours a day.
