Automatic build and deploy upon git push using Hugo and AWS API, Lambda and S3

Hugo

I built this website using the static website generator Hugo written in Golang. I knew I wanted a static website because my intention was to host basic blog posts detailing my work and a static site would reduce the overhead of maintaining a server, reduce costs and it would deliver the content quickly.

I had a good look around before deciding which framework to use and finally settled on Hugo after reading this blogpost.
