DevOps

Ship it: pipelines, containers, and infrastructure

Picking a stack is half the job; shipping and running it is the other half. This section covers the deploy side of development in 2026 - CI/CD pipelines, build tooling, containers, infrastructure as code, and self-hosting - with the same opinionated verdicts as the rest of the site.

Guides and tool roundups

Step-by-step playbooks plus the tool landscape for each layer of the ship-it stack, each one ending in a recommendation rather than a shrug:

Cheatsheets and head-to-heads

Quick references for the commands you deploy with, grouped by task rather than alphabet, plus verdict-first comparisons for the closest calls in operations:

The Docker cheatsheet and Git cheatsheet live in the cheatsheets section, and the hosting and monitoring layers live in the tool directory. This section builds on them rather than repeating them - every DevOps page links back to the reference it assumes you have open.
