> `cron` jobs; database persistence; difference/explanations of when to use bare-metal v. vps v. vm; what there is to know about reverse-proxying and load balancers and how to correctly setup and deploy those and so on? I'm currently working on a course for something like this at https://nickjanetakis.com/courses/deploy-to-production https://nickjanetakis.com/courses/deploy-to-production. It won't cover building the app from ground zero but it'll cover a bunch of patterns in development to build apps in a way that makes deploying them flexible, then the majority of the course focuses on deployment related topics. I screwed up initially by trying to focus the course on everything (single servers, multi-servers, Heroku, Kubernetes, etc.) but since then I've scoped it down to focusing specifically on the boring case of "I just want to frikken deploy my app" and it'll go through a ton of things around taking a web app you've developed and shipping it onto 1 or more servers while doing everything in such a way where you'll be able to Docker Compose up your project on 1 or more servers (not load balanced but you could split up things like your web, worker, db and cache onto separate servers if you wanted to). It won't do things in a half-assed way tho, you'll be set up to horizontally scale if you need to since we'll stick to creating 12 factor style apps. The course won't cover Kubernetes but if you wanted to "evolve" your set up to that in the future you'd have a really strong fundamental knowledge base to do that so you could focus specifically on learning Kubernetes, not Kubernetes + the 100 other things you need to know beforehand since this course will cover a lot of those other things.
