Online: The 1-Person DevOps Stack presentation by Lionel Sapp

The 1-Person DevOps Stack: How I Keep Client Apps Alive Without a Big Team presented by Lionel Sapp.

When you're a solo builder, "DevOps" isn't a department — it's whatever keeps production stable at 11pm when a client pings you and real users are stuck. In this TED-style talk, I'll share the minimal, battle-tested operations stack I use to ship and maintain client apps without a big team: preview deployments for safe releases, error tracking and logging that actually matter, and a calm incident loop for when something breaks. I'll also show how AI fits in practically (not hype): using v0 for rapid UI mockups and Cursor/MCP agents to speed up implementation while keeping quality guardrails in place. The stack is modern, simple, and repeatable — Next.js + Supabase + Vercel + Resend + Stripe — but the real value is the workflow: what to monitor (and what to ignore), how to deploy with confidence, and the "stability rituals" that keep apps alive long after launch.

This is an online talk.
