The internet is filled with terrible and shallow articles about how a company should go about building internal development (and product) infrastructure, most of which either have the objective to shill particular paid (and lock-in) solutions or aim at putting a variety of SEO buzzwords in the hope of getting ad revenues.
So, dear HN, how should a startup go about developing their own (cloud-based) internal stack in 2022? What combinations of tools among AWS, Terraform, Pulumi, Kubernetes, Tailscale (etc.) provide a quasi-stable configuration to increase the life-expectancy of your friendly neighbourhood devops?
What is the state of the art of setting up secure, zero-trust, infrastructure that employees can use to quickly spin up services and tooling for internal use?
How is this done in your company? Are you happy with it?
