The DSB Digest

Overview

This repository will contain a list of all blog posts that are uploaded/committed to Hashnode and Dev.TO. This is the parent repository for the DevSec Blueprint and all of Damien's blog posts that he's written over the course of his career.

PSA: Make sure you read your own damn docs for your own good, because you and I both know you tend to "forget"!

Architecture Diagram Summary

1. A blogger, referred to as "ME", uses a "DSB Blogging Assistant" to create a blog post in Markdown format. The blogger checks in the blog post (MD) to a "Source Repo" (a source repository, likely on GitHub).
2. Once the blog post (MD) has been checked into the source repository, Hashnode grabs the latest blog post and publishes it as a "draft" unless specified otherwise in the blog.
3. GitHub Actions, which are automated tasks, are then triggered to sync, process, and process the markdown file from the repository.
4. The GitHub Actions are part of a workflow that includes an automated process to replicate the post from Hashnode to Dev.TO and Medium. There is some comparative analysis that takes place here.
5. The blog posts are published to Medium and Dev.TO, with the canonical URL set to the Hashnode Blog (the original blogging site).
