1. Monoliths vs Microservices vs Serverless
Introduction
When we are building a small-scale or large-scale applications, there are many different ways to go about it. While there is no "right" way to do things, I think it's useful to know the tradeoffs that each option presents. That way you can make an informed decision about which approach would be best for your particular use case.
In this post I'm going to compare monoliths architecture, microservices architecture and serverless architecture.

One of the most important steps that should be considered when building Web projects is deploying your project so that anyone can see your work and try the project and its Features live as reading your code is not enough!
there are several ways and websites used to do this but in this article, I'll mention the most ones I use and I prefer.
But the most ways I follow for deploying my projects are :

Hello 👋🏻
I'm Martin, a UK based Web Developer and AWS consultant.
I've been a member of this community for 4 years now, but purely in read-only mode I'm afraid. Recent events have made me reconsider my online profile and I'm trying to take more ownership of my content.
Still dipping-my-toe into dev.to, but hope to make it a more regular fixture in 2023.
I've just published a handful of back-dated posts from my personal website - martinhicks.net - over here as a starter for ten.

In the previous article we introduced the Display-Grid Web Component which supports markup like this:
Column A
Lorem ipsum...
href="SomeURL">Go Here
Column B
Lorem ipsum...
Column C

Automatic Styling
The idea is to allow for automatic CSS Grid markup; which looks like this, for three columns.
The number of columns are based on the number of subelements.
In the original article there was a bug related to the shadow root.
