Technology

This website is built using Eleventy, which is a static site generator. This means that instead of waiting until a page is requested by a visitor and then building it on demand, the pages are all built in advance so that they are ready to serve ahead of time.

Page templates are written in the Liquid templating language, which is then transformed into HTML.

The events themselves are stored in a Sanity real-time database, edited in Sanity Studio.

The website is hosted by Netlify. Whenever changes are pushed to the main branch in GitHub, Netlify builds and deploys the changes automatically. Branches are also deployed temporarily for testing purposes.

Netlify edge functions pull events from Sanity and apply localisation to the dates, which means that visitors should see a list of events that is appropriate for their locale and timezone.
