The site is hosted using AWS CloudFront serving static content from a S3 bucket running static content using the REACT and bootstrap frameworks. The source is managed in GitHub and has a cloud formation stack that can be run to create a full AWS stack for any branch, including a CI pipeline to automatically deploy. The articles and projects are published here, as well as on RPub, Shiny and GitHub. I am currently working with the Serverless Framework and various Docker containers for presenting R and Python work, however free options such as GitHub and Kaggle are also great places to share data work.
