FinOps Tips

Architecture

finops.tips is a static-first Astro site that keeps content, build logic, and presentation loosely coupled. The goal is simple: publish frequent tips fast, keep pages fast, and make each layer easy to evolve independently.

1) Content Layer

Tips are the source of truth. They are organized by category (Operations, Services, Metrics), then surfaced in curated lists and archive pages. This keeps publishing lightweight while preserving a predictable structure for readers and automation.

2) Application Layer

Astro pages compose reusable layout and section components. `BaseLayout` handles global framing (navigation, footer, theme controls), while route-specific pages only focus on page intent. This separation avoids duplicated UI logic and makes new pages quick to ship.

3) Automation Layer

Content operations run through scripts and scheduling so updates can be generated, reviewed, and published consistently. The automation flow is designed so humans can intervene at any point, with no hidden state in runtime servers.

4) Delivery Layer

Builds produce static assets and feeds (including RSS), then deploy via CI/CD. Because pages are pre-rendered, infrastructure stays simple: no always-on app server is required for core content delivery, which keeps cost and operational risk low.

Design Principles

• Static-first delivery for performance and reliability.
• Composable components for maintainability.
• Scriptable publishing workflows for repeatability.
• Low-ops infrastructure to align with FinOps goals.
