Reactifier.
A blog post aggregator bringing together React developers from across the globe.
How do I add my feed?
Send a pull request for the subscriptions.json
file. We're glad to have you on
the feed!
How does it work?
Reactifier is run as an AWS Lambda function. The compiled code and
dependencies are zipped up and uploaded to AWS to be triggered as a Scheduled
Event every hour. AWS executes the default export on the lambda.js module,
which calls the reactifier()
function.
The function pulls down all subscribed RSS feeds based on the
subscriptions.json
file. After the latest posts are retrieved, a static site
is generated to display the post previews and provide an RSS feed. The static
site is hosted entirely through S3.
But, why??
I didn't want to stand up $10/month cloud server and maintain it. Lambda allows me to periodically invoke my function, so I'm using a 128 MB instance for about 19 seconds every hour. That fits well within the free tier! \o/
