ivn

backend engineering notes · Amsterdam

Personal site for write-ups on backend services, Linux infrastructure and automation. Small self-hosted lab, used for testing deployment pipelines and network setups.

Notes

• Running a minimal Go service behind a reverse proxy — chi, structured logs, graceful shutdown.
• Reproducible Linux hosts: cloud-init, package pinning, no manual snowflakes.
• Renewing TLS certificates without downtime: hooks that actually fire.

Stack

Go, PostgreSQL, Docker, nginx, Ubuntu LTS. Nothing exotic.
