Databases, security, and release safety
Dockerfile vs Buildpacks: Which Should Deploy Your App?
Compare automatic runtime detection with an explicit container recipe, and learn when to switch.
Connect a Production App to PostgreSQL Safely
Use a connection URL, TLS, pooling, migrations, and least-privilege credentials without leaking database secrets.
Database Migrations Without Breaking a Rolling Deploy
Use expand-and-contract changes so old and new application versions can coexist during a release.
Environment Variables and Secrets in Production
Separate build-time public values from runtime credentials and prevent accidental exposure in logs, images, and Git.
Readiness vs Liveness: Health Checks That Actually Help
Know which failures should stop traffic and which failures should restart a process.
Custom Domains, DNS, and HTTPS for a New App
Understand DNS records, TLS certificates, and the verification steps that make a deploy reachable by name.
Why a Deployment Returns 502 Bad Gateway
Trace a failed proxy-to-app connection through process startup, port binding, health, timeouts, and logs.
Staging vs Production: What Should Be Separate?
Design environments that catch release failures without sharing credentials or corrupting live data.
