Infrastructure engineering, documented in production
Write-ups on Kubernetes, GitOps, Terraform, and infrastructure. No fluff — just what actually happened.
When your hosting provider goes down, you have two options: scramble or switch. We built an automated failover system using Cloudflare Workers, KV storage, and an on-site server that flips DNS within two minutes — at zero ongoing cost.
How we built a production mail server from scratch — Postfix, Dovecot, dual DKIM, DANE, DNSSEC, MTA-STS, WKD, and an SNI multiplexer — with Part 2 covering post-quantum OpenPGP on the horizon.
How I built and deployed a fully automated static blog with a custom theme, GitLab CI pipeline, Terraform infrastructure, and a perfect Lighthouse score — and what actually broke along the way.
A production migration from bare-metal LAMP to a single-node K8s cluster — covering namespace isolation, ExternalSecrets, cert-manager TLS, and the database name swap that nearly took down two sites simultaneously.
