Building My New Website with Astro, GitHub Copilot, and AWS Amplify
SMRTR summary
A developer rebuilt his personal website from scratch using Astro, a framework he had never used before, relying heavily on GitHub Copilot's AI assistance through a "personas" approach where he treated the AI like different team specialists. He developed the entire project in GitHub Codespaces, streamed the initial coding sessions live on Twitch, and deployed it using AWS Amplify with a custom Astro adapter. To keep the site's dynamic data fresh, he automated the process by setting up an AWS Lambda function that rebuilds the website every two hours, creating a fully cloud-based workflow from development to deployment.
