Why clicking through the AWS console is a recipe for pain, and how declaring infrastructure as code with Terraform changes everything. Practical VPC + EC2 + RDS example included.

Serving static files from your server works at small scale, but traffic spikes can bring it down. S3 + CloudFront separates static delivery from your app server for any scale.

They all look the same at first, but each cloud has distinct strengths. A startup founder's guide to choosing the right cloud provider.

ISR works perfectly on Vercel, but fails on AWS/Docker. Let's dig into the file system cache trap and how to solve it.

I tried to save money by deploying to AWS S3 instead of Vercel, but ended up with a broken site. I share the three nightmares of Static Export (Image Optimization, API Routes, Dynamic Routing) and how to fix them.

I adopted Kubernetes (k8s) blindly because it was 'trendy' and 'scalable'. The result? A massive infrastructure bill and YAML hell. I share my honest retrospective on the dangers of over-engineering and when you should actually use Kubernetes.

Managing infrastructure manually via a web console is a disaster waiting to happen. I share my horror story of accidentally terminating a production database server and how Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform saves us from human error, providing version control, reproducibility, and peace of mind.

3 days after launch, our DB CPU spiked to 100%. Logs showed a SQL Injection attack. This is a war story of how we urgently deployed AWS WAF to block the attack. I also explain Positive vs Negative Security Models and the OWASP Core Rule Set (CRS).

Solving server waste at dawn and crashes at lunch. Understanding Auto Scaling vs Serverless through 'Taxi Dispatch' and 'Pizza Delivery' analogies. Plus, cost-saving tips using Spot Instances.

Round Robin, Least Connections, IP Hash explained. The difference between L4 (Layer 4) and L7 (Layer 7) load balancing, and how to configure Nginx as a Reverse Proxy.
