Immutable Infrastructure with Infrastructure as Code Immutable infrastructure means you never patch a running server or service. If something needs updating, you replace the old artifact with a new one. Infrastructure as code (IaC) means you describe the desired state of your systems in code and let automated tools create or replace resources to match. When used together, these ideas cut drift, speed up recovery, and make deployments repeatable across environments. ...

Serverless Architectures: Pros, Cons, and Patterns Serverless architectures shift the burden of server management to cloud providers. You write small units of code, called functions, and the platform runs them in response to events. This can reduce operational work and speed up development, but it also brings new trade-offs. What is serverless? In practice, you deploy functions or small services that run on demand. The cloud provider handles provisioning, scaling, and runtime updates. You pay for actual usage, not idle capacity, which can cut costs for bursty workloads. ...
