- Software developers have become overly reliant on cloud platforms and managed services, leading to a loss of deployment skills and reduced system understanding.
- Self-deployment for Software Developers aims to fill knowledge gaps by teaching how to deploy software on personal infrastructure, starting from basics and using real-world examples.
- The book spans 750 pages with over 40 code blocks (2,500+ lines), covering Linux commands, Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, load balancing, TLS, CI/CD, and operational best practices.
- Target audience includes developers seeking a reusable reference, those wanting cost-effective self-managed infrastructure, backend/full-stack developers, and those who've used Kubernetes without deep understanding.
- The book focuses on real production scenarios rather than trivial examples.
