WhiteOwlEd

I feel like my site (https://whiteowleducation.com ) is starting to outgrow Netlify. The site has interactive web pages with Mapbox and video that is coming from Cloudflare, and I am starting to go through bandwidth fast.

I am looking for some sort of hosting solution that can host not only the static site stuff that I have today (Gatsby, React), but that will allow me to expand to building out forums , responses to blog posts, or long term some type of ElasticSearch that will allow people who visit the site to search for appropriate blog posts.

The next step seems like going with Heroku, Digital Ocean, Google Cloud or AWS. If I go with Google or AWS, seems like process is to place my web app in a Docker container and deploy that to machines that run 24/27.

I am on a razor thin budget, and I need budget friendly advice on what a deployment roadmap would look like. Thanks in advance.

Just curious what everyone is working on this weekend.

For me, I am working with Unreal Engine this weekend. Unreal allows you to select Actors (the objects in the game), but if you optimize to display a lot of items (Instanced Static Meshes), it doesn't easily allow you to select a subset with a rectangle. This weekend, I am determined to find a way to select a subset of these Instance Static Meshes.

I am just curious what kinds of projects everyone is working on. Are you looking into online courses or building out something completely new?

For me, I am migrating away from content management systems (like ghost.org) for blogs that I put together at https://www.whiteowleducation.com . I want to create really custom blogs in React, but the challenge is being able to do this in a way where the blog can be generated quickly.
