Putting email on your own domain sounds like a weekend DNS task. In practice it is a small distributed system with a twenty-year legacy.

Web infrastructure here means the systems that make publishing work on the open web. Static builds, object storage, CDN behavior, DNS for mail and verification, and indexing signals (sitemaps plus push protocols like IndexNow) sit in one cluster so you can ship fast, stay correct, and avoid reinventing SMTP or search engine plumbing.

AWS S3 remains the “default” baseline for object storage: it is fully managed, strongly consistent, and designed for extremely high durability and availability.
Garage and MinIO are self-hosted, S3-compatible alternatives: Garage is designed for lightweight, geo-distributed small-to-medium clusters, while MinIO emphasises broad S3 API feature coverage and high performance in larger deployments.

The AWS Free plan is not working for me and Pay-as-you-go is hidden for new CloudFront Distributions on AWS Console .

Deploying a Hugo static site to AWS S3 using the AWS CLI provides a robust, scalable solution for hosting your website. This guide covers the complete deployment process, from initial setup to advanced automation and cache management strategies.

For broader context on web infrastructure topics, see the web-infrastructure cluster.

The Saga pattern provides an elegant solution by breaking distributed transactions into a series of local transactions with compensating actions.

Hugo caching strategies are essential for maximizing the performance of your static site generator. While Hugo generates static files that are inherently fast, implementing proper caching at multiple layers can dramatically improve build times, reduce server load, and enhance user experience.

When data is the a valuable asset, securing it has never been more critical. From the moment information is created to the point it’s discarded, its journey is fraught with risks - whether stored, transferred, or actively used.

AWS Kinesis has become a cornerstone for building modern event-driven microservices architectures, enabling real-time data processing at scale with minimal operational overhead.

Here we have a Python Lambda example of SQS Message Processor + REST API with API Key Protection + Terraform script to deploy it for serverless execution.

In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into Alexa skill development, testing, and publishing. We’ll also cover design principles, technical considerations, and best practices to ensure your skill provides an engaging and natural user experience.

Here’s a side-by-side support comparison of structured output (getting reliable JSON back) across popular LLM providers, plus minimal Python examples

Here are my notes with step-by-step tutorial on how to implement and deploy to AWS a Telegram bot. I’ve added a quick start (long polling) and a production-ready path (webhooks), with examples in Python and Node.js.

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is a framework that enables you to define and provision cloud infrastructure using familiar programming languages like TypeScript, Python, Java and Go.

Using LLMs is not very expensive, might be no need to buy new awesome GPU. Here is a list if LLM providers in the cloud with LLMs they host.

MinIO is an open-source, high-performance, distributed object storage system designed to be fully compatible with the Amazon S3 API.
