Architecture Case Study: content-platform

Content Platform

"WordPress security vulnerabilities keep you up at night. Plugins break on updates. Your site crashes when an article goes viral. You spend more time maintaining the CMS than creating content."

CONSTRAINT: Global Reach, Zero Maintenance

LOADING_ARCHITECTURE...

Technical Implementation

JAMstack architecture with edge distribution. Sanity.io provides structured content with real-time collaboration. Content is fetched at build time, rendered to static HTML, and deployed to 300+ edge locations via Vercel. Webhook triggers rebuild on content change. No server runtime means no attack surface.

ADR: DECISION: Static Site Generation (SSG) over Server-Side Rendering (SSR). RATIONALE: SSR requires compute on every request—scales linearly with traffic and can be DDoS'd. SSG pre-renders everything—CDN serves static files with infinite horizontal scale. A viral post that would crash WordPress simply gets served from cache.
