Rebuilding your Netlify site at regular intervals

Handling images with B2, Netlify's image CDN, Hazel and Mountain Duck
I've spent a while hosting and fetching images from bunny.net when my 11ty builds. I had multiple pull zones configured and wanted to leverage bunny.net's transforms, but the pricing of $15/month per zone wasn't feasible.
Building a scrobbler using Plex webhooks, edge functions and blob storage
I've written before about embedding music into my site and I've largely used Last.fm to do so. Their API is rather extensive, though it is showing its age — the default response format is XML, they've dropped artist images and have intermittently failed to return album art. ListenBrainz is great, but client support is still lacking. I've also tried charting Apple Music data from their (quite limited) API.

My journey to serverless and back
So I've had some experience with the whole "serverless" thing over the past few months. A few cloudflare workers, a netlify function here or there to spice up a static site. But a full-on serverless function based project was not something I'd had experience with, until now.
