From VM to Markdown: Ditching WordPress to Save the Planet (and My Wallet)
What happens when you mix Markdown, Astro, and legendary Dutch thriftiness?
A blazing-fast blog on Azure Static Web Apps; and a footprint that shrank from €480 / 40 kg CO₂ a year to nearly zero.
You'll learn how to:
* Replace WordPress with Markdown & Astro.
* Re-create WordPress plugins with Rehype.
* Store content in GitHub and deploy with GitHub Actions.
* Host globally on Azure Static Web Apps for 0 cost.
* Hit a 4×100 Lighthouse score and maintain your blog from your phone.
This isn't just about blogging, it's about rethinking the impact your cloud infrastructure can make.
Ideal for developers, bloggers, and anyone who wants to save money and the planet (preferably without giving up on emojis, syntax highlighting, or Dutch sarcasm).
