Editorial Standards
Last updated: 18 February 2026
Digital Infrastructure Explained publishes evergreen explanations of the systems layer behind modern digital services: networks, cloud architecture, data centers, and data infrastructure.
Authorship
Articles on this site are authored under the editorial pen name E. Sandwell. This is intended to keep voice consistent over time while separating editorial work from day-to-day business operations.
What we publish
- Evergreen explainers: architecture, operation, scaling, and practical system design.
- Plain language: technical, but readable for non-specialists.
- Diagram-friendly structure: when diagrams improve understanding, we use them.
- Neutral tone: no hype, no trend chasing, no political activism.
Content Firewall Rule
Content Firewall Rule: If a topic meaningfully discusses encryption, identity, authentication, risk, or threat mitigation, it belongs on digitalsecurityexplained.com and must not be expanded here.
Quality standards
- Definitions first: every article starts by defining key terms.
- Mechanics over marketing: we explain how systems work, not vendor claims.
- Layered structure: overview → components → how it operates → trade-offs.
- Concrete examples: real-world patterns and common failure modes where helpful.
- Scope control: if a topic is broad, we split it rather than writing a shallow “mega post.”
Updates and corrections
We update articles when underlying technology changes in a meaningful way or when factual errors are found. If you believe a page contains an error, you may submit a request through the publisher help desk: Submit a request.
What we do not do
- No daily auto-posting or bulk “content flood.”
- No breaking news coverage.
- No sensational headlines or clickbait.
- No security deep dives (see firewall rule above).
