Survive in War Time

Building Goalixa during wartime in Iran with severe internet restrictions. When I cannot access the internet, I cannot deploy changes or fix production bugs. This is the reality of shipping software under external constraints.

Learning in Wartime: Preparing Goalixa Infrastructure

With limited connectivity and unreliable internet access, preparing robust infrastructure becomes critical. Planning for Kubernetes deployment with proper backup, rollback, and redundancy strategies.

Topics Covered

  • Building Under Constraints: Development with limited resources and connectivity
  • Wartime Challenges: Operating during geopolitical instability
  • Personal Journey: The motivation and vision behind Goalixa
  • Real-World Obstacles: The problems documentation doesn’t cover
  • Resilience: Adapting to circumstances and finding solutions

Context

Building a startup is hard. Building a startup during wartime in Iran with restricted internet access is harder. These posts document the reality of shipping software when external factors are outside your control — and how to adapt, plan for failure, and keep building anyway.
