Ask HN: What are your go-to tools/books/blogs for cloud?

I'm looking for some practical, reusable cloud solutions. I'm a backend developer; however, sometimes, I have to create a new service using AWS services. Terraform is good in general.

My main problem is I sometimes miss a small detail which causes a production issue. It happened 2-3 times in the past few years.

Is there any good tool or practical book/blog to help me? I found a couple of Terraform generator solutions, but those are basic. Most blog posts I've checked describe the high-level concepts and don't go into details.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

High Scalability (http://highscalability.com) comes to mind first for me.

Is it even active nowadays, other than ads?

It’s worth looking into CDK (Cloudformation Development Kit) documentation and related blogs.

Thanks for suggestion, played with CDK a little while back, much better than others.

What I'm looking for is some sort of advanced, battle testes designs or patterns. for example found iam role permission boundary.
