If you are like me, you like to see the applications you write running in production. You get excited when you finally see your hard work delivering real value to people. But web applications don’t run in a vacuum, not even the serverless ones.We need servers with compatible processor architecture and connectivity. On them, we run operating systems, web servers, databases, and firewalls. We make backup copies of user data. Scale services up and down.Maybe you are not running this show currently, but you could be.Together, we’ll get a full-stack web application up and running on a virtual server in the cloud and focus on transferable skills that you can depend on in your career for a long time to come.Apart from a detailed look at systems configuration, we’ll automate typical deployment tasks. You’ll see how things fit together.There is a lot to learn, but remember, you don’t have to master it all from the get-go. Improve as you go.Josef
