       | it looks. My original motivation was to write something I would
       | want to read since most resources I found on self-hosting were
       | either too shallow, lacked real-world examples like code, or
       | didn't fully address the knowledge gaps I kept running into.
       | 
       | The book starts with the basics and builds up to covering the
       | full infrastructure stack, with the goal of understanding the
       | system as a whole and eventually deploying on Kubernetes.
       | Kubernetes is a major focus but the content can be applied to any
       | environment. I can't express this clearly, but you should
       | probably check the sample "Jobs and CronJobs" section to get an
       | idea. There's also a section on best practices, tips, and
       | practical details based on things I've run into myself.
       | 
       | It is available for free including the PDF and the code blocks.
       | Yet, you are welcome to pay what you want.
