I got the impression that the book is oriented to solo entrepreneurs building their own Saas (perhaps I got that wrong). What you have described sure sounds like good standards to follow by an entire infrastructure team, but a bit too much for solo devs doing infra stuff.
- chrisweekly 5y agoI dunno, I kinda side w the parent you replied to; it's not like 12-factor app principles or CICD are only for big teams.
- strzibny 5y agoI mention both, but don't go into detail. Ad 12-factor. Some makers are better off not to follow everything. For example, it's fine to use server disk space for a single server. So I don't want to include it as dogma. Ad CI/CD. You either build it yourself (and the book gives you the technical knowledge to do it) or use a vendor (GitHub/GitLab/Circle CI). I actually want to do a bit more on CI/CD, but thinking how to approach it.
- strzibny 5y agoThis. The book was called Deployment for Makers before, but I am taking it in a more general direction now. I wrote about some of the things mentioned above, but had to choose where I spend the time (it's already a long book). There is a reason it's called "from Scratch", because I cover starting out. Some things bootstrapping startups don't need (there are only nice-to-haves). I will update and improve the text based on feedback, though (including the comment above).
