Cloud Computing Insights

Real-world perspectives on infrastructure, scalability, and what actually works when you're building systems that need to stay online.

What We Write About

Most cloud content reads like vendor documentation. We try to share what actually happens when you deploy these systems in production.

Performance Patterns

Real latency numbers from regional deployments. We track response times across different zones and share what works for Taiwan-based infrastructure.

Practical Troubleshooting

The weird errors that cost us hours. Database connection pooling issues, memory leaks in containerized apps, and other fun surprises.

Cost Management

Where money disappears in cloud billing. Storage transfer costs between regions, compute instances that run 24/7 when they shouldn't, and reservation strategies.

Security Implementation

Configuration mistakes we've seen repeatedly. IAM policies that grant too much access, unencrypted data stores, and network rules that expose internal services.

Monitoring Approaches

Metrics that actually matter during incidents. CPU graphs don't help much when your application is failing for reasons that won't show up in standard dashboards.

Migration Stories

Moving from on-premise infrastructure to cloud platforms. Data migration strategies, downtime windows, and handling the unexpected compatibility issues.

Spent the last six years moving applications between data centers and cloud platforms. Most of my writing comes from mistakes that taught me something useful.
