Under the hood

How this site is built

Simple, reproducible architecture showing the same stack I use in client work.

API layer

FastAPI serves skills and projects over JSON with CORS enabled. The app is containerized for CI/CD and reverse-proxied by Caddy. Explore the live docs at api.holgerslomka.net:8000/docs.

Data layer

PostgreSQL stores branches/commits for skills plus project timeline entries. Schema is versioned and seeded via SQL for repeatable deploys.

Frontend

Vanilla JS fetches the API, renders Mermaid graphs (git graph + mindmap), and builds a timeline UI. No frameworks, just fast static assets.

Deployment

Deployment uses Gitlab CI/CD pipeline and Gitlab-runners. The application is containerized for CI/CD and reverse-proxied by Caddy, ensuring smooth deployment and scalability.
