Discontinue dev.f.o use of AWS Static Website Builder

Description

The dev.f.o website is managed at the GitHub repository folio-org/folio-org.github.io and is built and deployed (to https://dev.folio.org/ ) using "Static Website Builder for AWS Using Serverless" (see notes).

However, for a long time now the AWS-based build has not been operating well. They have stopped allowing us to build new branches. Hence a contributor cannot view a feature branch build. That was one of the benefits of the AWS-based build. It is also very slow.

We now use a GitHub Workflow, implemented via FOLIO-4085 at workflows/jekyll.yml

The Workflow-based build has been operating well and is very fast (much faster than the AWS-based build). It is also easier to maintain, especially regarding the Ruby version to be used.

In synchronisation with disabling the AWS-based build we will also need to configure the "GitHub Pages" build to use the "dev.folio.org" domain.

Beaut. I did some a new test branch and PR. All is well.

Thanks for your work with this. It served us well for a long time.

I’ve removed the webhook and resources on AWS.

Thanks.

However i made a new branch FOLIO-4146-verify-discontinue-aws-2
and it is still wanting to do the AWS build.

I do not understand enough about "webhooks" but it seems that they might still be enabled.

Okay, all set. I’ll start tearing down the AWS infra later today.

David CrossleyFebruary 27, 2025 at 2:19 AM

I prepared pull/1881 to verify configuration changes.

(As we already know, AWS will refuse to build that new branch. So the never-ending orange dot "Waiting for status to be reported" is expected.)

On PR merge, the Jeyll Workflow will build and deploy master branch.

Verify by visiting https://dev.folio.org/about/thanks/ which will show our new Jira and Wiki URLs.
