FROM BACKEND TO DEVOPS The Journey Begins 🚀 Linux • Docker • Cloud • AWS • CI/CD

My DevOps Journey Begins 🚀

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m Shinu, a B.Tech CSE student, and this is my first post on DEV.

Until now, most of my development journey has been around Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL and backend development. I’ve built APIs, worked with authentication, databases, Git and Linux basics.

But now I want to understand what happens beyond writing the application.

How do we containerize it?

How does it get deployed?

How do servers actually work?

How do CI/CD pipelines automate everything?

And how does cloud infrastructure fit into all of this?

That’s what brought me to DevOps.

I’m currently going deeper into Linux and learning Docker, AWS, CI/CD and cloud fundamentals.

I’m planning to use DEV to document this journey — not just the things that work, but also the errors, confusing concepts, broken setups and the solutions I find along the way.

I’m still learning, so if you spot something I could understand better, feel free to share your thoughts.

Here’s to learning, building, breaking things, fixing them, and getting better one step at a time.

See you in the next post!
