   Comprehensive means going from networking to configuring NGINX as a load balancer. And everything in-between. But to provide more value I chose certain language runtimes and databases, because writing only in general is not as useful and ta

   Thanks a lot for your review. I'll think about it. Is there a topic/chapter specifically you want to dive deeper?

   I talk about some of it (like push vs pull approach to server configuration, containers or not, single server or not), but most likely not to the extend you are probably thinking of. As for high availability I discuss whether it's wort

   I really believe that what I put into the book should be a knowledge a person deploying production application should have. > I just don't think small startups or side-projects should spend so much time getting all the configuration

   Thanks for the tip. I am thinking about a course, but spent so much time on the book I unsure if I could make it in a reasonable time :)

   I cover what most people do which is either using build tools on a production server or building containers without them. I understand where you are coming from, but I don't talk _specifically_ about this. Basically you need to build y

    Thanks for your feedback. > the value proposition "save time managing your own side-project/startup deployment" is not smart I would say it's not right for all. But it's 100% true (from my readers) that people le

    Thanks a lot for your feedback. Happy you found the time to write it. I agree I should clarify it's an ebook sooner in text. And I want to redo the chapters. But I get a lot of conflicting feedback so hard to know what's right. Th

    I don't use Bitdefender. I think it has some issue with how Netlify delivers content (sesing other Netlify issue with it). Likely a false positive, though.

    I specifically waited with SHOW HN until I had some customers and good feedback hoping some of them hang out on HN as well. I swear nothing was solicited. I just posted it myself and waited. No Twitter, no mailing lists, nada.

    I am really sorry you feel that way. It's all pure feedback from people I don't know. All organic. And I am replying, because I promised I will be around for discussion. Testimonials, podcasts appearances, and comments here were

    Hi, I haven't asked anybody. But I did wait with SHOW HN until I sold something and had good reviews and feedback.

    I started with Markdown and gitbook initially (the old version of gitbook), and then switched to Pandoc & XeLaTex engine with the mixture of Markdown and LaTex. I only did the "cat" and "ref" boxes in LaTex, everythi

    I chose NGINX because it's what I use and have a good performance. I am curious, why are you interested in Apache in particular? Is that what you run now?

    Thanks for a nice review. The book is already long as it is, so I only provide some general ideas behind these tools. The path forward might be very different from person to person. Some will want to convert the Bash code to Ansible and som

    I actually think there are many resources online, but nothing that takes you from the beginning to the end. So unless you know what to search for, you won't find it. This is especially true for security. How do you know things are secu

    Thank you! I think that understanding things better makes it more enjoyable, actually. If you'll have any feedback for me or questions down the line, just send me a DM.

    Just wanted to ask the question. Are they really pivoting to something else? Curious now what it is.

    I use Bash in an idempotent fashion so that my readers can rerun the demonstrations of Deployment from Scratch (or even just small part of them). Apart from doing what the article suggests, I make sure that every step of a process is rerunn

    What do you find hard in particular? systemd service + gunicorn is not that bad, I think. You can have simple deployment and graceful restarts[0]. [0] https://nts.strzibny.name/gunicorn-graceful-restarts/
