DESCRIPTION:For more information visit:\nhttps://www.crowdsupply.com/teardown/portland-2025/short-talk/joni-on-microsite-hosting-a-blog-on-a-microcontroller\n\n---\n\nWhy are web servers so complex when all they do is exchange text? Join me as I explore the wonders of **microcontroller-constrained web design**\, serving a technically-functional blog from an ESP32-S3.\r\n\r\nIn this talk\, I’ll dive into the challenges and quirks of hosting a live website on minimal hardware. What goes into serving more than one request per second? Can 3 people clicking on a link at the same time be considered a DDOS event? Will Google's web crawlers figure out that my website has as much power as a late-90s desktop?\r\n\r\nKey topics include:\r\n\r\n- **Hardware Decisions**: Why the ESP32-S3? How did switching from WiFi to Ethernet impact my SEO ranking? How much do crypto hardware accelerators actually accelerate? How many articles can I support with 400 kilobytes of storage?\r\n- **Embedded Software**: Is it ACTUALLY important to keep your LetsEncrypt private keys out of unencrypted flash? What goes into setting up an HTTPS session? How do you parse a URI? What even is a MIME type?\r\n- **Modern Web Optimization**: Writing a static site generator which packages every page into a single `.html` file with minified assets\, base64 images\, brotli-compressed payloads\, and ultra-compressed webp images.\r\n- **Website Content**: Artistically\, what should a website served from a microcontroller look like? What do people expect it to look like?\r\n\r\nThe site\, **[https://joni-on-micro.site](https://joni-on-micro.site)**\, will be live throughout the conference\, so you can test it in real time. I expect some of you will manage to crash it—don’t worry\, that’s part of the fun. Come see what’s possible when we rethink web hosting and web design at its most constrained.\n---\n\nFor more information about Teardown 2025 events\, please visit:\nhttps://www.crowdsupply.com/teardown/portland-2025\n
