I’ve spent years designing and running systems on AWS, from EC2, ECS, and EKS to Lambda, DynamoDB, and event-driven services like SNS, SQS, and EventBridge. These posts come from that work. They focus on production decisions: how to keep systems scalable and decoupled, which architecture traps look fine in a diagram but fail under real traffic, and how to avoid a surprise cloud bill.

If you’re building on AWS, the goal is to save you the expensive lessons. You’ll find write-ups on content delivery, caching, serverless patterns, and anti-patterns I’ve watched teams repeat. Each article includes the trade-offs, because there is rarely one right answer.
