Study Plan

A six-week path from framework mechanics to platform operations.

Week 1: Vango And State

Build the mental model for server-owned UI and explicit persisted state.

weekly

Explain Setup/render/Resource/Action boundariesTrace click to event to state write to render to patchClassify local, persisted, product, runtime, and platform stateRun warm/cold deploy examples by hand

Week 2: Control Plane Truth

Understand authoritative records, operation state, epochs, and durable event propagation.

weekly

Sketch operation tables and stage recordsExplain route owner compare-and-swapModel JetStream as propagation rather than truthWrite a stale event and replay-gap failure story

Week 3: Deploy, Data, And Rollback

Connect immutable artifacts, Vango impact, migrations, and production promotion.

weekly

Classify additive/destructive migrationsExplain exact-artifact preview-to-prod promotionProve why route rollback may be blockedDefine RPO/RTO by data class

Week 4: Runtime And Scale

Make scale-to-zero, vertical replacement, horizontal scale, and drain concrete.

weekly

Walk cold to waking to hot to sleeping transitionsGate horizontal scale with runtime servicesPlan allocation drain and session resumeList autoscaling signals beyond CPU

Week 5: Security And Product UX

Tie hidden authority to clear app-owner and operator surfaces.

weekly

Separate platform RBAC from customer app authTrace secret rotation into allocation restart policyDesign repair UX for blocked promotionExplain break-glass without console dependency

Week 6: Multi-Region And Operations

Reason about region enablement, DR, OS upgrades, and incident response.

weekly

Plan region enablement gatesDistinguish fresh-session failover from session migrationWrite a host OS upgrade drain planRun incident triage from app/platform/provider/policy categories
