After years building enterprise cloud infrastructure and launching a music tech startup, I’m bringing fresh perspectives to this technical blog. The hiatus wasn’t planned, but it gave me space to explore new territories - from cloud migrations to AI-powered music creation.
Cloud Architecture: Then and Now
My previous blog setup mirrored common enterprise patterns - a Hugo static site with Azure DevOps pipelines pushing to cloud storage and CDN. It worked, but required constant maintenance as Azure deprecated services and pipeline configurations drifted. The new architecture strips away complexity:
- Local Astro development environment
- Direct builds to object storage
- CDN distribution without pipeline overhead
Beyond Enterprise Cloud
While migrating enterprise workloads from AWS to Alibaba Cloud taught me scaling principles, building mysong.studio opened unexpected technical frontiers. Running a music tech startup demands mastery of:
- Search engine optimization at scale
- AI integration for audio processing
- Marketing automation
- Cross-platform performance optimization
Technical Choices That Matter
The new blog infrastructure prioritizes developer experience without sacrificing performance. Astro’s view transitions create seamless navigation that feels like a single-page app while maintaining static site benefits for SEO. I’ll share concrete performance metrics once the site is live, focusing on:
- Page load times across global regions
- Core Web Vitals measurements
- SEO impact metrics
- Development workflow efficiency
Looking Forward
This blog will explore technical challenges across enterprise and startup contexts. From cloud architecture decisions to AI implementation strategies, expect detailed insights from hands-on experience building at different scales.
