How I Build Production Systems

Architecture blueprints, pipeline simulation, monitoring mock, and IaC snippets.

Architecture Blueprint

Click a node to see details.

Pipeline (Mermaid)

Clean diagram — same flow as the interactive blueprint.

CI/CD Pipeline Simulator

Trigger a mock pipeline and watch the logs.

Terraform — ECS service

resource "aws_ecs_service" "app" {
  name            = "app"
  cluster         = aws_ecs_cluster.main.id
  task_definition = aws_ecs_task_definition.app.arn
  desired_count   = 2
  launch_type     = "FARGATE"

  network_configuration {
    subnets          = var.private_subnet_ids
    security_groups  = [aws_security_group.ecs.id]
    assign_public_ip = false
  }

  load_balancer {
    target_group_arn = aws_lb_target_group.app.arn
    container_name   = "app"
    container_port   = 3000
  }
}

Dockerfile — multi-stage

FROM node:20-alpine AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

FROM node:20-alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=builder /app/.next/standalone ./
COPY --from=builder /app/public ./public
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["node", "server.js"]

GitHub Actions — build & push
