The production lessons that AWS tutorials leave out — scaling problems, unexpected AWS bills, IAM mistakes, database failures, networking issues, observability gaps, and real-world operational challenges.
None of this shows up in a demo. All of it shows up eventually.
This isn't another getting-started tutorial. It's about what shows up after deployment — the parts a demo can't show you, because a demo never runs under real concurrency, real cost pressure, or real 3 a.m. conditions.
Nineteen chapters, organized by the problem you actually have.
Real pages from the ebook.
