How To Start: A No-Fluff First Post

RENOVATEAPI ARCHITECTURAL SPEC
CANONICAL GUIDE

Replace every file in content/posts/ with your own .md files. Each post is just frontmatter (title, description, date, category) plus Markdown content — no CMS, no database.

Why this structure works for SEO

  • Every post gets its own static route (/blog/[slug]) with unique <title>, meta description, and Open Graph tags generated from the frontmatter.
  • app/sitemap.ts regenerates automatically from whatever posts exist in content/posts/.
  • Article JSON-LD structured data is injected on every post page, which is what qualifies you for rich results in Google.

What to do next

  1. Delete the two sample posts in content/posts/.
  2. Write your first three real posts — pick the actual pain-point topics your audience searches for.
  3. Set your site identity in .env (name, URL, description).
  4. Connect a newsletter provider and your AdSense client ID.

Content is the whole product here. The template just makes sure Google and your readers can actually find and trust it.

Extremely helpful breakdown of the Strangler Fig pattern! We're currently refactoring a legacy Java monolith at work and the OpenAPI gateway routing tips saved us weeks of experimentation.

The schema JSON-LD and FAQ block structure really helps with indexing. Great technical detail on entity mentions too.
