From traditional PaaS to modern Serverless IaC
(2025–2026 | BSc Computer Science)
| Version | Architecture | Management | Key Achievements | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| v1 | Django Monolith + Elastic Beanstalk | GitHub Actions + OIDC | NIÜ selected project, DORA Elite metrics, <60s deploy, $21k ROI savings | Baseline (Archived) |
| v2 | Hexagonal Agnostic + Lambda Container | CI/CD Pipeline | 63% faster (120ms → 44ms median), OWASP ZAP 0-alert, fully cloud-agnostic core | Active Core |
| v2.1 | Same Core + Full Terraform IaC | Zero Manual Steps | Least-privilege IAM, GitHub App + OIDC, auto Secrets sync, smart smoke test, CloudWatch + SNS | Advanced Portfolio Project |
The full story: Started with classic PaaS in v1, evolved to fully cloud-agnostic serverless in v2, then fully automated with Terraform in v2.1 — consistently delivering performance, security and reproducibility.
