Follow this guide to set up Hugo, install PaperMod, and start a new site with a clean local workflow.

A quick look at the parts of PaperMod that matter most in day-to-day writing: speed, clean post cards, taxonomies, and simple configuration.

A compact reference for headings, lists, code blocks, tables, and the Markdown patterns Hugo renders cleanly out of the box.

Agent → Email Service Architecture High-throughput, async, durable email pipeline. Agent (ECS) enqueues; Email (Lambda) sends via SES; DynamoDB is source of truth; SQS/SNS decouple producers from consumers. Components Component Role Agent (ECS Fargate, NestJS) API surface. Accepts single/batch send requests, writes job rows to DynamoDB, publishes to SQS. Email Lambda (plain Node/TS) SQS-triggered worker. Renders + sends via SES, updates DynamoDB. No DI framework — handler is a plain function for fast cold starts. Event Lambda (plain Node/TS) SNS-triggered. Updates job status, maintains suppression. SQS Standard (email-jobs) Main work queue. High throughput, at-least-once. SQS DLQ (email-jobs-dlq) Catches messages exceeding maxReceiveCount. SQS DLQ (event-lambda-dlq) Catches SNS deliveries Event Lambda failed to process after retries. SNS (ses-events) Fan-out for SES bounce/complaint/delivery notifications. DynamoDB EmailJobs Job state, idempotency, audit trail. DynamoDB Suppression Bounce/complaint suppression list (checked before send). SES Actual mail transport.
