Today, I was working on our Terraform Provider, and I noticed that I never tried to deploy an application from scratch on a new and clean AWS account. Meaning, an empty AWS account - with 0 resources created. No VPC, no EC2, no Load Balancer, nothing... just an IAM user to get access to my AWS account programmatically. This post explains what I did and how it took 37 minutes and 33 seconds to literally: 😅 Let's explain all of that!

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is an AWS-managed service. It is used by startups, small & mid-sized businesses for web application development. As it comes pre-configured with EC2 server and is efficient at using automatic provisioning of services and resources, handling application code and environment configurations seems easier with this PaaS solution. AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a go-to option for various startups, small & mid-sized businesses.

In this article, you’ll learn how Starlink works in a domestic environment, and how to monitor Starlink connection with Prometheus. SpaceX’s Starlink uses satellites in low-earth orbit to provide high-speed Internet services to most of the planet. During the beta, Starlink expects users to see data speeds vary from 50Mb/s to 150Mb/s and latency from 20ms to 40ms. It’s also expected that there will be brief periods of no connectivity at all.

The rise of cloud native and containerization, along with the automation of the CI/CD pipeline, introduced fundamental changes to existing application development, deployment, and security paradigms. Because cloud native is so different from traditional architectures, both in how workloads are developed and how they need to be secured, there is a need to rethink our approach to security in these environments.

In cloud native computing (Kubernetes in our case), there is a requirement to automatically scale the compute resources used for performing a task. The autoscaling cloud computer strategy allows to dynamically adjust the active number of application servers and allocated resources instead of responding manually in real-time to traffic surges that necessitate more resources and instances.

Software development no more emphasizes “final delivery” or deployment of a project. It is more about “continuous delivery and integration” today. The market also demands rapid delivery and updates without missing out on elements like ‘quality’ and ‘innovation.’ So, instead of building a super-robust well-tested product at once, developers focus on faster and bug-free releases to create a reliable product over time.

Pricing is a complex topic matter, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to pricing. Few things impact growth and revenue as much as your pricing. Finding the right balance between value and revenue will make or break your business. While most founders have a clear product vision and have thought through things like their go-to-market strategy or hiring plans, surprisingly, few have an idea about what their pricing should look like.
