Landing in the cloud

Everything built so far had lived on a laptop. This milestone is about the jump to real infrastructure: separate accounts, staging and production environments, its own domain. Nada Menos stopped being something that only ran while my computer was on.

Like any first real deployment, surprises showed up that no local testing environment was ever going to reveal. Pieces that worked perfectly on the laptop behaved differently in the cloud, for reasons that only become visible once traffic arrives through the real path instead of the local-development shortcut. Nothing catastrophic, but a solid list of things that had to be understood one by one before I could say the site was standing reliably.

With the site now serving from its own infrastructure, a different stage began, unlike anything before it: operating something real people use every day.
