#serverless

Random morning thoughts: how many people actually visit this blog? Where do they come from? What if I could just spend a little time to build my own analytics?

And to be clear I don't mean the Common Gateway Interface as a protocol. I mean what CGI and the cgi-bin application model brought to the web. They allowed people to easily write code that makes websites interactive. This shifted the web from an archive of documents to a vast network of applications. It was the first "web application model". I think Wasm (WebAssembly) is setup to bring the next "web application model" to the industry.

Due to its approachable codebase and clean abstractions, id Software’s DOOM has become one of the most ported games in history. It felt like a perfect project to port to Compute@Edge, built on our serverless compute environment, to experiment with different applications of the product.

With Serverless, it's easier than ever to deploy production-ready API endpoints. However, using AWS API Gateway results in odd hostnames for your endpoints. Further, these hostnames will change if you remove and redeploy your service, which can cause problems for existing clients. In this guide, I'll show you how to map a custom domain name to your endpoints.
