Introduction #
If a developer builds a great site but can’t host it properly, you’re setting yourself up for failure. Hosting and DevOps are essential parts of a successful Drupal build.
A Good Freelance Developer Understands: #
- Hosting Platforms: Pantheon, Acquia, AWS, and self-hosted LAMP/LEMP stacks.
- Performance Tuning: Using Redis, Memcached, Varnish, and CDNs.
- SSL/HTTPS Management: Secure certificates via Let’s Encrypt or managed platforms.
- Scaling Infrastructure: Preparing for traffic spikes with scalable database and server solutions.
- Backup and Disaster Recovery: Ensuring your site can bounce back from server issues.
Why It Matters #
The biggest risks aren’t just in code — they’re in uptime, speed, and recoverability. A developer who understands hosting and DevOps is a safety net for your site and your brand.
