Don't be distracted by FAANG scale. It's not relevant to most software and is usually dictated by what they started using and then deployed lots of engineering time to make work.
My suggestion is to figure out how you will manage your database server and monitoring for it. If you can do that, almost everything else can fall into line as needed.
- mleonhard 7y agoWhy did you leave out DigitalOcean and Terraform?
- madhadron 7y agoTerraform isn't equivalent to Puppet, Chef, or Salt. It's a tool for specifying cloud deployments, not a configuration management system. DigitalOcean might be fine. So is Arch Linux. But if someone just wants to get on with what they're interested in with a minimum of fuss over time, it wouldn't be the right recommendation.
