The elements. blog

• Hello, Elements

  The first post on a blog built entirely with Elements — templates, database, and deploy from one command.

• Why one command

  Build, test, run, and deploy all go through a single elements binary. No external services to wire up.

• Postgres, bundled

  Every app ships with a managed local Postgres cluster, so you write SQL from day one with nothing to install.

• Server-rendered by default

  Pages render on the server and hydrate in the browser, so the first paint is fast and the markup is real HTML.

• Deploy over SSH

  Point Elements at an Ubuntu box and it provisions users, systemd, TLS, and a load balancer on the first deploy.
