Learn Kubernetes node pools for workload separation, labels, taints, autoscaling, failure planning, and choosing when separate worker pools make sense.
Understand horizontal vs vertical scaling for cloud VMs: compare scale up vs scale out, state, failure capacity, databases, and operating complexity.
Understand load balancing, L4 vs L7 routing, health checks, failover, draining, state, TLS, and multi-node architecture decisions.
Plan VM autoscaling with demand signals, capacity limits, warm-up, stabilization, readiness, safe scale-in, dependency guardrails, testing, and cost controls.
Understand WebSocket hosting with a decision framework for persistent connections, scaling, latency, reverse proxies, reliability, and cloud server cost.
Decide when a SaaS app should stay on one VM or separate its application, database, workers, files, cache, and traffic routing across multiple systems.
Learn Kubernetes cost optimization for startups by fixing waste, sizing workloads, and knowing when cluster complexity costs more than it saves.
Compare blue-green and rolling deployments by rollback speed, temporary capacity, database compatibility, and team fit for safer cloud releases.
Learn when Docker Compose is enough and when small teams should move to Kubernetes, with a Raff path from VM, database, storage, and worker roles.
Compare stateful and stateless applications, decide where application state should live, and prepare sessions, files, jobs, databases, scaling, deployment, and recovery.
Learn single-server vs multi-server architecture for growing apps. Compare cost, complexity, scaling signals, and when to split workloads on Raff.
