Pushing static html to S3?
-
Hi! We have been using the Really Static plugin to generate static html files for our pages and then push them up to S3 to be served out of an AWS instance (not currently CloudFront, but that’s an option for us). Really Static is nice in that it supports a ‘push’ model for static pages, i.e. it proactively regenerates the html files when anything changes and then pushes the static files to S3. Unfortunately, we recently discovered that Really Static does not handle custom post types or custom taxonomies, which is a new requirement for our site. I tried modifying that plugin, but the code is half in German and it’s…not easily maintainable code, to say the least.
I see that W3TC can generate static html files (page caching), and it can push things to S3 (css, js, images, …). However: A) W3TC implements a ‘pull’ model for generating static files, i.e. static files aren’t generated until they’re requested; and B) W3TC does not push the static HTML files to S3. I’m wondering if anyone has done any work to get W3TC to generate HTML files on change (as opposed to on request) and to push them to S3 / Cloudfront? If not, any advice on how I might proceed to do that work would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!
p.s. I did submit this question via the Support / Suggest a new feature page, but I get no indication that the issues was submitted to w3-edge, and the last time I tried that I was told that in fact the issue was not submitted. So I’m asking it here.
