From Localhost to Production

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Practical, hands‑on roadmap: sets up Node + nginx reverse proxy behind an AWS Elastic Load Balancer, serves static assets from S3 + CloudFront, and uses CloudFormation/Elastic Beanstalk so the entire stack spins up in about 12 minutes; code and configs live on GitHub. Calls out node clusters caveat (OS load distribution can waste cores; single‑core VMs are often safer), demos CDN features like CloudFront edge cache and Lambda@Edge, and reports a real outage where the CDN kept pages live. Also covers MongoDB replicas and load testing.
