It's really hard to answer if you don't provide any context :) Zero maintenance for a blog, small webshop or some Kubernetes controlled madness running a zillion pods? For the first two:
1) Make everything static, HTML, CSS, don't manage your own servers
2) Use as few dependencies as possible when dealing with JS
2 a) For backend try to find a service that do the work for you without you deploying your servers
2 b) Maybe cloud functions are enough?
3) Write tests
4) Don't write bugs :D
5) Setup alerts (uptime robot)
- andoma 7y ago> 2 b) Maybe cloud functions are enough? I generally agree, but eventually you're gonna start getting emails saying things like "We're deprecating Node 8.x in our Lambda / Cloudfunction / etc"
- tiborsaas 7y agoZero maintainability should mean 0.01% maintainability :) But that's true, one should go for a compiled language like Rust or Go.
