What I have learnt over many attempts of writing and maintaining a personal blog, especially after having gone from shared hosting to cloud self-managed hosting, is that maintaining the underlying infrastructure is hard work. Having gone from paying a pretty penny on Bluehost, I decided to switch to AWS with disastrous results – I found addressing database leaks that would take down the entire EC2 instance.
In any case it’s time to get back to writing again and this time I decided to go with Digital Ocean. Now we keep writing and seeing if my experiment with Digital Ocean will yield the results I’m looking for.
