Almost Every infrastructure decision I endorse or regret after 4 years
Startup infrastructure lead shares 4 years of scaling lessons. Recommends AWS over GCP for support, managed services (EKS, RDS) over self-hosting, and tools like Terraform, GitHub Actions, and PagerDuty. Advises prioritizing automation, GitOps, and cost reviews. Warns against shared databases and over-engineering.
