a little status update: I pretty much finished all the code changes for biff last night, including a new example app/project template. todo list is now: 1. make findka use the new version 2. add a project template for multi-page apps (i.e. no cljs or react) 3. update the reference documentation I'm pretty excited about this upcoming release. one of the biggest changes is I've added tight (but optional) integration with terraform, so biff can now do a lot more heavy lifting with regard to infrastructure/deployment. I'm aiming for the ease of e.g. deploying to firebase, but without being stuck on a particular platform. By default biff will have config for digital ocean since that's what I use, but it should be pretty straightforward to add config for other providers like aws. This will also let me/anyone add terraform config to handle fancier setups beyond just a single webserver, like high availability (load balancer + multiple webservers), zero-downtime deploys, CI/CD, etc.

all sounds great to me. Iโ€™ve been planning to spin up a little project with Biff for a few weeks, sounds like โ€œsoonโ€ will be a good time to start ๐Ÿ™‚
