Tech Stack (Infrastructure)

The entire ecosystem is hosted on a VPS, utilizing a decoupled architecture to handle different functional requirements:

  • Blog (this site): Built with Svelte 5 / SvelteKit 2 and Rust, containerized with Docker, and utilizing SQLite for data persistence. web-stack
  • Portfolio: A dedicated static site built with React, Lottie, and GSAP for high-performance animations
  • WebSocket Server: Managed via Node.js for my apps' real-time communication
  • Mail Server: Custom-built using Rust

Detailed documentation regarding the architectural decisions, deployment pipelines, and the evolution of this stack will be covered in the series [ THE ARTIFACT MANIFEST ] . You can find the initial blueprint here .
