Why I migrated this site from a monolithic WordPress instance on AWS Lightsail to Astro on Cloudflare Pages and avoided a PHP zero-day.
Mea culpa. I’ve been a big fan of moving my personal page over to AWS Lightsail. But, if I had one complaint, it’s the dangerous combination of (1) their pre-packaged WordPress image being hard to upgrade software on and (2) the training-wheel-lacking full root access that Lightsail gives to its customers.
