Solution retrospective


That's not the first time "I build a bazooka to kill a mosquito", but this solution needs an explanation: usually, I use frameworks to build simple projects because the development process is faster. I mean is much faster to implement a landing page with, e.g., vite + react + tailwind than with html + vanilla css.

However, in this solution, I used Nodejs + Express + Ejs template engine, and the process development was quite slow (the main reasons were netlify dev does not have live reloading and I lost time searching for a good extension for ejs files in vscode).

And as if that weren't enough I had a hard time trying to figure out how to deploy the landing page to Netlify (Express running serverless functions is something pretty well documented, but not with template engines).

But the reason I chose to use Nodejs for this project is precisely because I am studying the deployment process of nodejs applications in Netlify and in serverless functions, in general, and I would like to test with a project as simple as possible.

But despite that, feel free to leave any feedback. I will surely appreciate it.
