The standard way I learnt in my first job was you used your company&rsquo;s AWS account and ran an small EC2 instance. Sure it was weird and time consuming in that you had to do a couple of things to get stuff working, like running Caddy or Nginx to do TLS termination and running Lets Encrypt to ensure that certs didn&rsquo;t expire. But it worked, and the thing i appreciated the most was that you once you had it setup you had so much flexibility. You could run a cron job on there easily, run a one-off script to fix some production data, or run something overnight to crunch some data. The default way in 2026 seems to be that you run your project on vercel + use supabase for auth / database. I&rsquo;m admitedly not a fan of this, it just seems so convoluted and opionated.</p> https://saahityaedams.github.io/posts/infra_automation_vs_test_automation/ Wed, 03 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://saahityaedams.github.io/posts/infra_automation_vs_test_automation/ <p>I recently worked on some Infrastructure automation stuff and wanted to jot down my thoughts regarding it, and also compare it to Test automation.</p> <p>This gig was mostly managing AWS infra with Terraform (stuff like alarms and logging for compliance, setting up ECS services, setting up CI/CD pipelines, trying to make a module to automate setting up a client env). I had some prior experience writing AWS CDK to setup infra to run some a service on ECS Fargate (mostly straightforward migration work using amazon internal golden path docs as guidance).</p>
