Learn how to deploy and run production applications on your own infrastructure with this deep, practical guide to mastering Kubernetes and production infrastructure.
750 pages · 35+ code blocks · No AI Slop
What This Book is About
As software developers, we have become increasingly dependent on cloud platforms and managed services in the last decade. Even so much so that we nearly forgot how to deploy our own applications. This reliance also affects our ability to understand the system and create reliable solutions, as system complexity continues to increase and software quality decreases.
Self-deployment for Software Developers addresses these knowledge gaps and helps you understand the system as a whole to let you deploy software on your own infrastructure. To achieve this, it starts with the basics and builds on them, showing real-world examples as you will encounter them in practice.
Across 750 pages and more than 40 code blocks (totaling more than 2,500 lines), you’ll progress from using essential Linux commands to creating a Dockerized application, deploying a Kubernetes cluster, extending PostgreSQL database, ultimately understanding each component of a multi-node cluster. This includes load balancing, TLS, CI/CD pipelines, and operational best practices.
It's designed for developers who:
- +Want a reference you can actually re-read, not just a tutorial to follow once
- +Are tired of paying for managed services you could run yourself for a fraction of the cost while keeping full control over your infrastructure
- +Write backend or full-stack and want to own the whole deployment process
- +Have copy-pasted Kubernetes manifests without really understanding them
- +Prefer learning from real production scenarios over trivial examples

About the Author
Yunus Koçyiğit is a full-stack software engineer with a passion for creating simple and reliable systems. After getting his Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, he started his career as a mobile developer and helped building applications for companies at various sizes, including BNP Paribas Fortis, the largest bank in the European Union.
Throughout his career, he has worked on projects where he owned the entire development lifecycle, including deployment, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and infrastructure. That real-world experience shaped his understanding of what developers actually need to run software in production, and this book brings those lessons together into a practical guide.
In 2021, he founded a startup that built a marketplace for renting advertising space and raised angel investment, but it failed to reach product-market fit. He currently works for CyberWhiz, a cyber security company that helps businesses achieve their CRA compliance.
Aside from his work, he loves cooking food, fixing broken things (electronics, cars, etc.) and spending time with his wife and 1 year old son. Feel free to contact him at yunus@kcygt.io.
