Server and deployment infrastructure

Your app running. Always.

Real servers, real monitoring, real uptime.

Production Infrastructure That Works

I set up and maintain the servers that run your Rails applications. VPS configuration, deployment pipelines, SSL certificates, monitoring dashboards. Your app stays up while you focus on building.

  • Full VPS setup with Ubuntu + systemd services
  • Nginx + Puma + Sidekiq configuration
  • Git-based deployment with zero-downtime
  • Prometheus + Grafana monitoring

How it works

1

Audit

I look at your needs, current setup, and growth plans. Then I figure out what infrastructure makes sense.

2

Setup

VPS provisioning, service configuration, SSL, monitoring. All documented so you know what is running.

3

Maintain

Updates, backups, alerts. Problems get fixed before you notice them.

  • Database backups? What backups?

With proper hosting

  • Dedicated resources that grow with you
  • Dashboards showing everything in real-time
  • One-command deploys with automatic rollback
  • SSL auto-renewal via Let's Encrypt
  • Daily automated backups with retention

Common questions

What you want to know

Any provider you prefer. Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, AWS EC2. For European projects I usually recommend Hetzner. Great price-performance and GDPR compliance built in.

Yes. I configure DNS records, set up multiple domains pointing to the same app, and handle SSL certificates for all of them. I usually recommend Cloudflare for DNS management.

Uptime checks every minute, automatic alerts when something breaks, security patches, SSL renewal, backup verification, and monthly reports on server health and resource usage.

Yes. I handle the full migration. Database transfer, file storage, DNS cutover. Minimal downtime. Usually a few minutes during the final DNS switch.

For ongoing monitoring clients, yes. Critical issues get addressed within hours, not days. For one-time setups, I offer a separate support package if needed.
