Let's build a piece of cloud

While standing on axes of giants we cannot always see the world behind the cloud (Author: davepl of MSFT). Cloud is just other people's computer (RMS) and we very seldom think of how the infrastrucutre behind it work, because we don't need to. Sometimes the entire backend is just few Go lines running on an AWS Lambda.

The problem I'm trying to address with this article is that for all project, price of service or product becomes a function of cloud runtime which I think is undesirable when dealing with projects in own home or garage. And it does very often occur to me that I stumble upon an older piece of techonology which is just enough to act as development or production server for smaller services.

Therefore we can reduce the price of cloud or make it more predictable by implementing own cloud.

In this series we will try to set up a simple network of computers which is suitable for service development. The price is very small, you need the internet and electricity bill. And some computers of course.
