Can you describe more about your serverless website / code playground? Just curious.

(I'm currently re-discovering the fun of coding by writing video games and hosting them internally to my house on docker containers on a Raspberry Pi.)




Sure: https://ricklove.me

So, almost all my content is hidden, but if you like text adventures you might have a go with the header bar.

It's pointing at my repo which is a mono-repo full of whatever I feel like: https://github.com/ricklove/rick-love-master

Basically, this is a website all built in react. It uses a simplified version of gatsby to generate a static website with async loaded components. That is hosted on netlify which basically provides free https, simple dns management, and git deploy with auto CDN cache expiration. In addition, I use serverless framework cli to define my AWS infrastructure and deploy the serverless stuff from command line. Essentially, I can make anything and deploy it in about 30 secs.

Some interesting things:

- A text adventure called dork (it's in the console simulator in the header)

- A doodle game for parties (using serverless websockets with AWS Api Gateway, Lambda, and DynamoDB): https://ricklove.me/games/doodle-party?room=hacker-news

- A bunch of educational games I made for my kids (using AWS lambda and S3 for storage): https://ricklove.me/games

- A code relationship visualizer: https://ricklove.me/tests/code-space/

- Components Testing (e.g. Stripe: https://ricklove.me/tests/stripe/)
