Archival repost — originally published on my old blog on April 6, 2013, already in English (this was the post announcing the blog would go English-only going forward). Lightly cleaned up for dev.to. Pagodabox shut down in 2015, and Cloud9 IDE was acquired by AWS and rebuilt into something very different, so neither is usable the way described here — Lectroid, the Node.js blog engine, still exists as historical software.
From now on this blog will be held in English only. Despite not being a native English speaker, I find it easier writing in the language of Shakespeare. I'm writing this post to announce the upcoming blog revamp.
The blog was running WordPress with a full LAMP stack on my own dedicated server — a total overkill setup. On top of that, WordPress kept getting heavier release after release. I only needed a personal blog system, not a whole CMS engine.
I went with a lightweight Node.js-based blog engine that does only what I need. It's called Lectroid — no database required, posts are stored as markdown files.
I also decided to fully lighten up the dev process and give a PaaS a try. I played with a few of them for a couple of days and settled on Pagodabox, which fit my needs. I'll be using Cloud9 IDE and Git for versioning and deploying to Pagodabox. I'll keep you all posted.
