DevOps & Infrastructure

Reliable infrastructure without vendor lock-in.

Overview

Good infrastructure is invisible: deployments that take minutes, backups that restore, and alerts that reach someone before customers notice a problem. We set up and run the servers, pipelines, and monitoring behind your software on open-source tooling, so you are never locked into one vendor. The same practices run the platforms behind WAYA and Shaxi, which we operate ourselves.

Who it is for

  • Teams still deploying by hand
  • Products preparing for a traffic spike
  • Businesses without tested backups
  • Companies facing a rising cloud bill

Sound familiar?

What usually brings clients to us

Deployments are risky

Releases happen by hand, late at night, and nobody is sure how to roll back if something breaks.

You hear about outages from customers

Without monitoring, slowdowns and outages are reported by the people who pay you, long after they started.

Backups nobody has tested

Backups may exist, but nobody has ever restored one, so there is no way to know they will work when needed.

What you get

What we build for you

Every engagement is scoped to your business. These are the pieces most projects in this area include.

Containerised deployments

Your applications packaged with Docker so every environment runs the same way.

CI/CD pipelines

Automated tests and deployments on every merge, with a quick, rehearsed way to roll back.

Servers, proxies, and TLS

Hardened servers, reverse proxies, and automatic HTTPS on AWS, Hetzner, or your own hardware.

Monitoring and alerting

Uptime, performance, and error tracking, with alerts routed to the right person.

Backups and disaster recovery

Automated, encrypted, off-site backups, with restores tested on a schedule.

Cost and security reviews

Right-sized servers, patched systems, and tight access controls, reviewed regularly.

How we deliver it

From first call to launch

01

Audit

We review your current setup, costs, and risks, and write down what to fix first.
02

Plan

A target setup with a fixed price, a timeline, and a migration plan designed to avoid downtime.
03

Build and migrate

Pipelines, servers, and monitoring set up, then your applications moved across in planned steps.
04

Run or hand over

We run it for you on a monthly plan, or hand over documented infrastructure your team can operate.

DevOps & Infrastructure FAQ

What clients usually ask

Anything we have not covered, ask us directly. We reply within one business day.

No. We work with AWS, Hetzner, and your own servers, and recommend the simplest setup that meets your needs. Many products run reliably on a well-managed server for a fraction of a large cloud bill.

Yes. We start with an audit, document what is there, fix the urgent risks, and then improve the rest step by step.

We plan migrations to avoid downtime: the old and new setups run side by side, and we switch over at a quiet time with a tested way back.

Whoever you choose: your team, ours, or both. When we run your infrastructure on a monthly plan, we respond to alerts ourselves.
