Development

Using SST to deploy to AWS. I am curious to see if that's worth it.

Steps to get local dev server up

0. Make sure that SSTV2 is installed. SSTV3 won't work. Use npm install sst@two --save-exact to download
1. In the root directory (i.e the SST app) run npx sst dev
2. cd astro/ and then rn npm run dev
3. At this point the dev server is running on local host

Deployment

1. cd astro/ and then run npm run build
2. In the root directly run npx sst build
3. In the root director (i.e the SST app) run npx sst deploy --stage prod

Misc

This CLI is great for converting mermaid diagrams to SVGs that can then be included in posts https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid-cli. There's also a way to include them directly in the astro markdown but I couldn't get that to work.
