| I'am assuming you are 'just' developing solutions.
Your customers are only interested in a product - not tech side. So, your goal should be: "How I can develop (and maintain) this product in the most efficient way?". Step 1 : Get stable grounds Pick a language that can solve most of common challenges that you will tackle.
Make yourself proficient in it.
You need to minimize time spent on thinking "how I can do it in X language?".
(You've got Java/C# skillset so most of your web skills should be around here). Step 2 : Optimize You've got another web project? That's great!
You just need to pick up template with all boilerplate (like: logging, monitoring, deployment, auth etc.) from last project and fill missing features. Step 3: Extend Now, you can finish most of your projects in seconds.
It's time to find new clients. Search for new domain - like: mobile, embedded or machine learning.
This time you can decide if your existing toolset is enough for new problems or rather, adding new one will be more beneficial to you.
Like: You can do a lot of ML stuff in C# but Python is the place where all important stuff happens. PS: IaaS vs PaaS Here is question for you: Do you like to do more admin stuff for low cost hosting? Or do you like to focus on coding and spent a bit more money and let cloud do most of admin work for you? It's a your time vs money optimization. Personally, for small (scale) project I'am running with IaaS - but I already have knowledge how to do it.
For big ones - it's better to stick with PaaS - even very skilled DevOps can't single-handedly deal with big scale. For you I would advise using PaaS since you don't have experience with neither PaaS nor IaaS.
PaaS is a lot easier to learn and you can always migrate your code to IaaS as a Step 2 :) Good luck and have fun. |
