Every few years I promise myself I’ll start writing things down. This time the excuse ran out: the site is up, it costs almost nothing, and publishing a post is one command.

How it’s built

The whole thing is static. Posts are Markdown files, Hugo turns them into plain HTML, and the result sits in a private S3 bucket behind CloudFront. There’s no server, no database, and no JavaScript framework.

Piece	What it does	Monthly cost
S3	Stores the files	A few cents
CloudFront	Serves them fast, over HTTPS	Free tier
ACM	The TLS certificate	Free
Route 53	DNS for kondala.info	$0.50

Even the video at the top of the homepage is about 300 KB, generated with ffmpeg from a couple of color gradients.

Hi, I’m Pranav. I’m a go-to-market specialist for cloud networking at Amazon Web Services.

As a Senior Business Developer in AWS networking, I work on how our connectivity services reach customers and partners: shaping the go-to-market motion, building partner relationships, and helping enterprises map their network strategy onto AWS. I’m the bridge between what the service can do and why it matters to the business buying it.

Go-to-market

My background is technical, which is what makes the go-to-market work click. I can sit with a network architect in the morning and a partner’s sales leadership in the afternoon and speak both languages.
