The word we say almost everything and everywhere. The question we have to double check when implementing new feature. It’s a kind of work allows to sleep calmly. Yes, this is security.

Infrastructure from scratch. Part 6. Database
Database question is probably must have the most reliable answer in all service questions. The more you ensured what to use and how to maintain – the more fast and reliable your system will be.
Infrastructure from scratch. Part 5. Backup.
I`d compare backups with meditation on human body. You don’t actually see the benefits, but in long term backups keep you healthy. Because they verify your infrastructure have reserve sources. Meditation helps to overcome the hardest moments of your life throwing out dirty thoughts. The clear backup similarly helps engineer to go through some kind of disasters. Even disasters we couldn’t guess before it was happened.

Infrastructure from scratch. Part 3. Monitoring
Keep going with infrastructure improvement, I stayed some time on monitoring issue. Generally monitoring is inseparable component of DevOps workflow. It allows to clearly control each subject of maintained service.
Monitoring work is interesting as well as complicated. This field, like database, doesn’t have ready solutions for any kind of project. For each situation you have to figure out what metrics are special and what graphs you must check at first.
Infrastructure from scratch. Part 2: AWS
Going on with my “operations revelations”, I’d like to describe my cloud experience. Project where I’m working now has all services and hardware on the Amazon cloud. It would be strange if it wouldn’t, because there is a definitely big trend to host applications in AWS.
I’ve never seen and thought how Amazon work. So, there must be some fun for me.
