Deploying to Vercel and Cloudflare Pages for Free

This blog uses output: "export", so next build produces plain HTML/CSS/JS in out/. No server needed.

Vercel (easiest)

1. Push this repo to GitHub.
2. Go to vercel.com/new → Import repo.
3. Framework preset: Next.js. Build command: next build. Output: out.
4. Deploy. Every git push with a new file in content/posts/ triggers a rebuild.

Cloudflare Pages

1. Push to GitHub.
2. Cloudflare Dashboard → Workers & Pages → Create → Pages → Connect to Git.
3. Build settings:
   • Framework: Next.js (Static HTML Export)
   • Build command: npm run build
   • Output directory: out
4. Deploy. Same git-push workflow.

Why static export?

• Free tiers love static files (no cold starts, no function limits).
• Instant global CDN caching.
• Search works client-side (no API route needed).
