Cloud infrastructure

Cloud infrastructure for a growing product

A good cloud setup matches the product's actual demand, security needs and the team's ability to operate it.

Prioritise operational basics

Reliable deployments, backups, access control and monitoring usually create more value than a complex architecture introduced before the product needs it.

Keep environments understandable

Separate development, staging and production where appropriate, document the purpose of each environment and make changes repeatable rather than dependent on one person's memory.

Scale from evidence

Use real traffic, performance and reliability signals to guide investment. A measured bottleneck is a better reason to add complexity than a hypothetical future one.
