-A Markdown renderer on the Compute @Edge platform from Fastly!
+A Markdown renderer on the Compute@Edge platform from Fastly.
+
+The main source file, `src/main.rs`, contains all the code for the renderer.
+The header and footer files I use are included at `content/_header.md` and
+`content/_footer.md` for easy inspection.
+
+## Nginx Configuration
+
+In order to best support this application, it's important to add the following
+line to Nginx's MIME types configuration:
+
+```text
+text/markdown md;
+```
+
+I also disabled gzip and set the max-age and cache-control headers as follows:
+
+```nginx
+server {
+ # ...
+ location /edgeblog {
+ # To illustrate the source to visitors.
+ autoindex on;
+ autoindex_exact_size off;
+ autoindex_format html;
+ autoindex_localtime on;
+
+ # To facilitate tagging.
+ gzip off;
+
+ # Cache-Control headers
+ expires 1h;
+ add_header Cache-Control "public";
+ }
+}
+```
