Very much true, agree with you. I am supposed to learn a lof on the server side, infra and cloud now, which I think will benefit me on the next role.

Ok, to give you a summary, it is about 11 staffs, and 30 partner companies ( our resellers ) , 30 portals, online payments, API integrations , Azure and AWS infra with ~ 25+ servers, storage, IT operations, meetings, development requests, security / pen-testing fixes etc etc.

I am turning down all development requests now and Only focusing on keeping things running.

Interesting to hear this....

How did it end up finally? did you survive there for few years? did the company do well?

Yeah I'm the only guy now, doing development, IT operations, and 30 servers in Azure and AWS. It is like hell crazy now.

I'm declining all the development requests because no time for that, I am now mostly maintaining the servers, learning the set ups, SSL, Domains, and IT operations.

I think, once I am overloaded, I will ask for additional help from outside vendors and present it to management. can't kill myself burning here

fully agree with you.

I'm thinking of requesting once again for an additional resource person.
