SITREP 02 2023

Hiya!

I haven’t contributed to my own darn blog in a while now so I figured an easy way to get back into things was just to write a little update.

Pivot! Pivvott!

I’ve been hard at work for Relias and loving it. While I still work a lot with Magento, I have left a lot of the Windows world behind. I’ll be pivoting this blog a bit to my current curiosities and work related skill silo topics.

The Fun Stuff

Here’s the stuff I’m up to:

• Main Apps in use:
  • VSCode, PHPStorm, Datagrip, Postman, Terminal tools
• Main tech stacks in use:
  • PHP for Magento 2 and Craft CMS,
  • Vue 3 for frontend,
  • TWIG for frontend templating,
  • TypeScript and JS,
  • Docker and DDEV,
  • Mysql/MariaDB/Postgres/SQlite,
  • ElasticSearch,
  • OpenSearch,
  • Redis,
  • RabbitMQ,
  • Mailhog,
  • Nginx,
  • Certbot,
  • bash I guess counts
• Platforms:
  • Magento 2 EE on cloud with 3-4 stores and domains
  • Craft CMS for various frontends, twig serving vue is actually quite nice.
  • n8n for micro service api magic and workflow automations
  • Digital Ocean for personal hosting and testing
  • Azure Container Apps and VMs for work hosting
  • Bitbucket and soon BB pipelines

Now what?

Well I’ll be trying to codify a lot of the fun things I’ve built in the past year and get back to doing regular updates here.

I’ve realized I would use this blog more if it wasn’t hidden behind my github.io domain, so I’ve reconfigured it to be my homepage for my Weeumson.com domain.

I’ve been using Loom a lot for video recording and sharing- This will be a great place to serve those embeds as well so stay tuned for posts with video as well as text :D

… Now what was I doing before this distracted me..
