A step-by-step guide to self-hosting n8n on a Linode VPS with Docker, an Nginx reverse proxy, and a free Let's Encrypt TLS certificate.

Stop copy-pasting Terraform across environments. Use modules for reusable infrastructure, remote state with S3+DynamoDB, and workspaces for environment separation.

Get started with Terraform: write your first HCL configuration, deploy AWS resources, understand state, and follow the plan/apply workflow — no prior IaC experience needed.

Containerise your Next.js app with a multi-stage Dockerfile that produces a slim production image under 200MB — ready for ECS, Cloud Run, or any container host.

Build a complete CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions — lint, test, Docker build, and deploy to AWS ECS automatically on every merge to main.
