⚙️ Infrastructure & DevOps

Reliable Infrastructure & DevOps

We set up, secure and maintain your server infrastructure. CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, SSL and 24/7 uptime — so you can focus on your product.

What We Cover

Everything your infrastructure needs to run reliably.

Server Setup

VPS provisioning, Nginx configuration, PHP-FPM tuning and production-ready server architecture.

CI/CD Pipelines

Automated testing, building and deployment with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI. Zero-downtime deploys.

Monitoring

Real-time server monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana. Alerts on CPU, memory, disk and response times.

Security Hardening

Firewall configuration, Fail2ban, SSH hardening, regular security audits and vulnerability scanning.

SSL Certificates

Free Let us Encrypt SSL with auto-renewal. HTTPS everywhere, HSTS headers and security best practices.

24/7 Uptime

Uptime monitoring with instant alerts. Automated recovery scripts and incident response procedures.

Technologies We Use

Nginx Docker GitHub Actions GitLab CI Ubuntu Let's Encrypt Fail2ban UFW Prometheus Grafana Redis Supervisor

Our Process

1

Assess

Infrastructure audit: current setup, bottlenecks, security gaps and scalability requirements.

2

Setup

Server provisioning, service configuration, SSL installation and environment preparation.

3

Automate

CI/CD pipeline setup, automated backups, monitoring dashboards and alerting rules.

4

Maintain

Ongoing maintenance: security patches, performance tuning, log analysis and capacity planning.

Built to be boring

Reliable infrastructure is not exciting. Neither is the call you get when the backup fails and the restore does not work.

Your app handles money or sensitive data

Payment reconciliation, permit uploads, student records - these cannot be rebuilt from memory if a server dies. You need deployments that can roll back and backups that have actually been restored.

You have no dedicated ops person

Most small teams treat infrastructure as a one-time decision made by whoever set up the first server. That works until it doesn't, and it usually stops working at a bad moment.

You have never tested your backup restore

This is the most common problem we find. Backups run, the log says success, and nobody has tried to actually recover anything - we treat that as no backup at all.

What you get

  • Server provisioning and configuration on your chosen cloud provider, documented and repeatable.
  • Deployment pipeline from git commit to production, with a working rollback path.
  • Automated backups configured, then actually restored in a test environment to verify.
  • Monitoring and alerting so your team sees problems before customers report them.
  • SSL, firewall rules, and access controls set correctly from initial setup.
  • Written incident runbook covering the scenarios most likely to wake someone up.

Common questions

What does a boring, reliable setup actually look like?

It means deployments are automated and reversible, logs go somewhere searchable, and the person on call has a written checklist instead of tribal knowledge. We have run this for platforms handling real-time seat inventory, live payment flows, and voice calls that must respond fast enough to support mid-sentence interruption. The common thread is no manual steps in the critical path. Boring is the goal.

We already have hosting. Do we need to move everything?

Not necessarily. We can add monitoring, alerting, and a tested backup strategy to existing infrastructure without migrating anything. If what you have is genuinely broken, we will say so plainly rather than rebuild for the sake of billing hours.

Is this the wrong service for us?

Yes, if you are pre-launch with no paying users and a tight budget - spend that money on product first. This work makes the most sense when downtime or data loss has a real cost attached. If your site goes down and nobody notices for two days, you probably do not need us yet.

How do you handle infrastructure for apps with a lot of moving parts?

Complex integrations create more failure points, not fewer. Systems we have deployed wire together payments, SMS, phone, permit uploads, and bulk email in a single application, which is exactly why deployment pipelines and rollback matter. Third-party dependencies go into monitoring from the start, not as an afterthought.

What happens if something breaks after you hand things off?

The runbook we leave behind covers the most likely incidents. Some clients keep us on retainer for ongoing support; others take full ownership after handoff. We do not engineer dependency into engagements, but we are reachable when something genuinely novel breaks.
