Architect Cloud Infrastructure from Startup to Scale. This course is a comprehensive guide for architects and developers that builds and manages the cloud infrastructure necessary to deploy and grow applications from early stage to full scale. This course teaches participants how to confidently manage and deploy modern applications at any scale. Course content includes deployment strategies from scratch to full scalability, deploying containers on AWS infrastructure, and using AWS App Runner to quickly launch applications. It also teaches how to develop a CI/CD pipeline for ECS with Terraform and manage infrastructure as code. As your team and application grow, the need for automation increases; so this course covers topics such as adding database migrations, using Makefiles to improve the development experience, and optimizing containers with Docker multi-stage builds for faster deployments. Participants will learn how to create a deployment pipeline with GitHub Actions, configure Blue/Green deployments for different environments, and use branches and tags to reliably push to production. Additionally, database migration to RDS, application scaling with ECS clusters, load balancing, and CDN with CloudFront are also part of the training. Ultimately, this course provides the knowledge necessary to create an enterprise-grade, high-performance infrastructure.
What you will learn
- Adapting to the scale and complexity of deployment strategies in the startup, growth, and enterprise stages.
- Building and maintaining the infrastructure needed to grow an application from startup to full scale.
- Understand architectural requirements for VPSs, container-based infrastructure, secrets management, cloud databases, and network configuration of advanced environments.
- Start by deploying a container in App Runner and configuring a Supabase database.
- Application and pipeline growth with automated database migrations and container optimization.
- Improved developer ergonomics with makefiles for local development and GitHub Actions for CI/CD.
- Migrate the application to ECS and use an infrastructure-as-code strategy with Terraform.
- Add load balancing, CDNs, logging, and security best practices that simulate real production environments.
- Deploy applications on modern infrastructure with tested tools.
- Containerize your application with Docker, migrate PostgreSQL from Supabase to RDS, add CI/CD with GitHub Actions, secure your application with Google Cloud authentication, deploy to AWS, and scale your infrastructure with Terraform.
This course is suitable for people who:
- System architects and developers looking to design and implement cloud infrastructure.
- DevOps engineers who want to hone their skills in using modern tools like Terraform and GitHub Actions.
- Startup employees who are responsible for managing infrastructure and need fast, scalable solutions.
- Developers who want to optimize their deployment and automation processes.
- Students and technology enthusiasts who want to expand their knowledge in cloud infrastructure and DevOps.
