Server & Network Configuration
Setting up and configuring the necessary servers, databases, and network infrastructure to support the product in a production environment. This involves ensuring all components are properly connected, secure, and optimized for performance.
IMPLEMENTATION
Servers:
Select appropriate server hardware or cloud instances based on performance and scalability requirements.
Install and configure operating systems, application servers, and necessary software.
Implement load balancing to distribute traffic across multiple servers for improved reliability and performance.
Databases:
Choose a suitable database management system (DBMS) based on data requirements (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB).
Set up primary and replica databases for high availability and redundancy.
Configure database schemas, tables, and indexes for optimal performance.
Implement backup and recovery solutions to ensure data integrity and availability.
Networking:
Configure firewalls, VPNs, and security groups to protect the infrastructure from unauthorized access.
Set up DNS to route traffic to the correct servers.
Implement SSL/TLS certificates to encrypt data in transit.
Optimize network settings for latency and throughput to ensure fast and reliable connections.
Monitor network traffic and performance to detect and resolve issues promptly.
TIPS
Use automated configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Puppet, Chef) to ensure consistency and repeatability.
Regularly update and patch servers, databases, and network components to protect against vulnerabilities.
Implement logging and monitoring solutions to track performance and identify issues.
Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to maintain a secure environment.
Test the infrastructure under realistic load conditions to ensure it can handle expected traffic.
WHY IMPORTANT
Vital for ensuring the product operates efficiently and securely in a production environment.
