Architect Cloud Infrastructure from Startup to Scale
Manage and automate container deployment to AWS
Why Learn DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure?
Confidently Manage and Deploy Modern Applications at Any Scale
Deployment Strategies for Any App
From startup to scale, deploy containers to AWS using the infrastructure your team requires. Get your app line fast with AWS App Runner. Evolve your CI/CD pipeline to ECS with Terraform, and manage your infrastructure with code.
Automation and Optimization
A growing team and application need automation. Add database migrations and a makefile for improved developer ergonomics. Optimize the container with multi-stage Docker builds for faster deployments.
Build a Deployment Pipeline
Master GitHub Actions. Configure blue/green deployments for multiple environments. Use branches and tags to promote successful deployments to production and ship confidently with a robust CI/CD pipeline.
Enterprise-Level Infrastructure
Migrate your database to RDS. Scale your application with ECS clusters, load balancing, and a CloudFront CDN. Learn the infrastructure required to ship high-performance enterprise applications.

Build and maintain the infrastructure required to grow an application from startup to scale.
- Understand the architecture requirements for VPSs, container-based infrastructure, secret management, cloud databases, and advanced environment network configuration
- Start by deploying a container to App Runner and configuring a Supabase database
- Grow the application and pipeline with automated database migrations and container optimizations
- Improve developer ergonomics with makefiles for local development and GitHub Actions for CI/CD
- Migrate the application to ECS and leverage an infrastructure-as-code strategy with Terraform
- Add load balancing, CDNs, logging, and security best practices that mirror real-world production environments
Deploy Applications on Modern Infrastructure with Battle-Tested Tools
Containerize your app with Docker, migrate PostgreSQL from Supabase to RDS, add CI/CD with GitHub Actions, secure your app with authentication from Google Cloud, deploy to AWS and scale your infrastructure with Terraform.
