To my father, Nagendra Ram.

I would have been a terrible software engineer if you had not bought me a desktop and taught me cut, copy, and paste in Windows 98.

I must begin my acknowledgment by thanking a couple of people who have had a significant effect on my profession. First and foremost, I want to thank my mentor and friend, Rahul Natarajan, who basically taught me AWS and continues to help me with architecture challenges whenever I get stuck. My former manager, Jason Carter, taught me a lot about application architecture and security.
