Migrating my blog from WordPress to AWS with Hugo, Terraform, and Claude Code
·5 mins
For years this blog lived on a traditional WordPress install behind a cPanel host. It served me well, but it also carried everything that comes with running WordPress on the open internet: a database to babysit, a PHP runtime to patch, plugins to keep current, and a login page that the entire internet loves to brute-force. As my interests shifted further into cloud and DevOps, I wanted my own site to reflect the way I now think about infrastructure—version-controlled, reproducible, and static by default.
