⚡️ From Zero to Deployed Portfolio < 1 Hour: My Experience with Vercel & Cursor

We've all been there: wanting to spin up a project—maybe a portfolio, a blog, or a hands-on lab for CI/CD—but dreading the initial setup slog. I recently set out to build my online portfolio, aiming to use it as a real-world IaC and CI/CD practice ground. Kill two birds with one stone, right? My plan seemed simple: Create a portfolio app (fast!) using templates or AI. Get it on GitHub. Configure the infra. Build the CI/CD pipeline. The catch? I wanted it live quickly.

  2. Get it on GitHub.
  3. Configure the infra.
  4. Build the CI/CD pipeline.
