Lots I — II

Explore the architecture
§ I — Foreword

Good infrastructure behaves like a fine movement — a thousand parts in service of one quiet purpose. I am learning to build cloud platforms that keep perfect time: scaling without ceremony, failing without drama, and asking nothing of the people who depend on them.

  1. IArticle 1

    Resilience

    Design so that no single failure takes the service down: more than one zone, more than one path.

    Multi-AZ · No single point of failure

  2. IIArticle 2

    Automation

    If it can be written down, it can be reproduced. Infrastructure and delivery live in code, not in memory.

    Terraform · CodePipeline · CodeBuild

  3. IIIArticle 3

    Continuity

    Release without ceremony. A new version arrives beside the old, and traffic moves only when it is ready.

    Blue/Green · Zero-downtime releases

  4. IVArticle 4

    Isolation

    Keep private things private: public and private subnets, narrow rules, nothing open by default.
