Everything it takes to serve a website or application.
Read in order, these pages tell one story: from a typed name to a site that survives failures and traffic.
- DNS & domains: how a name becomes an IP: records, resolvers, and the full path of a lookup.
- NGINX setup: how to serve the site.
- TLS certificates: secure it: inspect, verify, convert and troubleshoot certificates.
- HAProxy: balance it: a reliable TCP load balancer in front of your backends.
- VRRP: make the balancer highly available: floating IP + automatic failover.
- App resilience: tips/overview to make the whole site/app resilient and survive failures
- Scaling the load balancer: survive success too: what to do when there’s too much throughput and the balancer can’t take the traffic anymore.
