Requirement

Using one of many online SEO checkers, I’ve found that one of the most prominent issue is a missing HTTP 301 redirect from www domain to the main one (https://www.marcoaguzzi.it to https://marcoaguzzi.it). Since the website is a static s3 bucket served by cloudfront, this can be achieved by using a Lambda@Edge function.

What’s a Lambda@Edge function?

In the AWS ecosystem, Lambda functions are small programs that can be invoked by a number of different callers. The Amazon motto is: “write the code and forget about the server”.

Summary

This website is build with Hexo, a static NodeJS blog framework. It allows a developer to define pages, posts, and all the elements using markdown format. Then the framework compiles them into static html, and the website is ready to be deployed on an accessible repository.
