Infrastructure Dependency Map ​

This guide follows a structured approach to building production infrastructure. Each section builds on previous ones, creating a robust foundation for your applications.

Foundation Layer ​

The bedrock of your infrastructure - these have no dependencies and support everything else.

Infrastructure Layer ​

Core infrastructure components that depend on the foundation.

Application Layer ​

Application-specific infrastructure built on the core infrastructure.

Compute & Deployment Layer ​

Components for running and deploying applications.

Operational Layer ​

Production operations and monitoring.

Getting Started ​

We recommend following this order:

1. IAM - Set up your security foundation
2. VCS - Establish version control and collaboration
3. Application Configuration - Set up configuration management
4. Foundational Networking - Create your network foundation
5. Continue through each layer in dependency order...

Each section includes:

• Why it matters - Understanding the importance
• Our recommendation - Specific tools and approaches
• How to do it - Step-by-step implementation
• Alternatives - Other options to consider
• Dependencies - What you need first
• Dependents - What builds on this
