Show IH: I wrote a book on web application deployment -- and sold enough copies to reach average salary of my country

Hi fellow indies,

After working at Red Hat and technically leading a start-up (of which I was the primary production engineer), I decided to write down a resource I felt was missing on the market:

A book that gives you the confidence to deploy your first application focused on fundamental, transferable, and long-lasting skills rather than tools of the day:

• You'll learn about networking, Linux, systemd, deployment strategies, web servers, application servers, databases, and containers.

• You'll be able to deploy Rails or Django applications (or anything really) together with production PostgreSQL and Redis databases. All automated with just a few lines of Bash.

There are three scripted demonstrations, cheatsheets, and a security checklist, apart from the book content. With these demonstrations, you can be up and running quickly and also save a lot of money on Heroku :).

Stats so far:

• Took me more than 3 years to write (1+ year of fulltime billable time)

• Built a mailing list of more than 600 interested people

• Sold 596 copies (600 soon!)

• 23 readers gave the book 5-star rating

• Made $22,473.50 total

• That's $2200+ on average per month since I started selling

• That's $1800+ per month for my work
