- Keep Your App Online A project-based journey for AI builders: automate deploys with CI, add health checks and uptime alerts, and rehearse a rollback before you need one.
- Make Slow Work Reliable An intermediate journey: move slow work off the request path, add retries with backoff, make jobs idempotent, and catch failures in a dead letter queue.
- Run a Security Pass Before Real Users A project-based journey: inventory your attack surface, close the failures AI code ships by default, add scanning to CI, and rotate what may have leaked.

- Alibaba Cloud vs Tencent Cloud: The Asian Hyperscalers Compared The two clouds that dominate Asia are nearly invisible in Western coverage. Alibaba Cloud (#1 in China, ~33-39% share) vs Tencent Cloud (~10-15%). Real 2026 pricing, regions, real-name verification, and the ICP filing catch.
- Contabo Review: The Cheapest Cloud VPS on the Internet — Worth the Risk? Contabo sells 8 vCPU, 24GB RAM for ~€14/month — half of what Hetzner charges. But shared CPU, capped port speeds, and a polarizing support reputation. Full review with real 2026 pricing, risks, and who should use it.
- Ultra-Budget Cloud Providers Compared: Contabo, UpCloud, Kamatera, IONOS Hetzner and DigitalOcean are too expensive? The next tier down: Contabo (most hardware per dollar), UpCloud (zero-cost egress), Kamatera (build-your-own), IONOS ($2 promos). Real 2026 pricing, billing traps, and who each one is for.
- What Is ICP Filing (and Why Do China's Cloud Hosts Require It)? ICP Filing (ICP备案) is a mandatory government registration for any website or app hosted on mainland China servers. What it costs (nothing), how long it takes (~20 business days), and what happens if you skip it (your site gets blocked).
