As a front-end developer, I have more than enough tools and resources at my disposal to get started and complete my projects. The server setup is always a challenge, however. I recently discovered AWS CloudFormation templates but have found that I need a lot of upfront knowledge to get started. I would like to maintain control so Heroku and Parse are not good options. At the same time, I would like the process to setup and monitor my own infrastructure to be a lot easier. Any advice on what I can be doing to overcome these challenges? Am I alone or are do others face similar problems?
