[1 HOUR WORKSHOP] Webserver Set-Up Progression (From Localhost to GCP With Caddy Webserver + Docker)
This workshop covers a learning progression from the simplest possible website running locally on your computer all the way to a production-grade web server running on Google Cloud Platform.
The focus is on how the website is being served (rather than the website itself).
