Infrastructure as Code: the MVP decision that outlasts your MVP
The conversations that surround a new product build tend to focus on the visible parts: which features ship in version one, what the design system looks like, how quickly the first users can be in front of it. These are the right things to discuss, and founders are equipped to discuss them. The decisions that get less attention sit underneath: how the cloud environment is set up, how new versions get deployed, how a second engineer hired six months from nowwill be able to work on the product without breaking it. These choices are usually made early, often in the first few weeks of a build, and they tend to stay in place far longer than anyone expects.
