We run what we build
Infrastructure configured by the people who maintain it.
We set up and run production Linux infrastructure end to end: Nginx and PHP-FPM tuning, Docker and Compose, TLS automation, database and cache configuration, backups that are actually restored and tested, monitoring that pages the right person, and deployment pipelines with a working rollback.
Technologies
01Capabilities
Hardened by default
SSH keys only, firewall and fail2ban, unattended security updates, least-privilege service users, isolated containers and TLS with automatic renewal. Security is the starting configuration, not a later project.
Deployments you can undo
Build once, deploy through CI, health-check, and roll back in a single command. A bad release should cost minutes, not an evening.
Backups that get restored
Off-site, encrypted, versioned — and periodically restored into a scratch environment, because an untested backup is only a hope with a filename.
Costs that make sense
A well-tuned European server often carries the same load as a cloud stack costing several times more. We will size honestly and tell you when managed cloud is genuinely the better buy.

03Why we insist on this
Most "slow website" problems are infrastructure problems
A large share of the performance work we are asked to do turns out not to be code at all. It is a database on default settings, no object cache, PHP workers starved of memory, a CDN caching nothing because of one stray header, or a server sized for the traffic of three years ago.
Because we run infrastructure ourselves, we can see both halves of the problem at once. That shortens the loop dramatically: no ticket to a hosting provider, no waiting for a third party to grant access to a log file, no argument about whether the fault is in the application or the server.
It also means we can be honest about hosting. Sometimes the answer is a bigger machine. Often it is a smaller one, configured properly.
05Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you take over servers set up by someone else?
Yes. We start with an audit — patch level, exposed services, backup validity, certificate expiry, resource headroom — and give you a prioritised risk list. Then we bring the setup to a documented, reproducible state so it does not depend on tribal knowledge or on us.
Do you provide hosting or do we buy our own?
Either. We manage infrastructure in your own accounts, which we prefer because you keep full control, or we host on our infrastructure under a monthly plan with an SLA. In both cases you get root access and full documentation.
Kubernetes or Docker Compose?
Compose on a properly sized server handles far more than people expect and is dramatically simpler to operate. We recommend Kubernetes when you genuinely need multi-node scheduling, autoscaling or team isolation — not because it looks better on an architecture diagram.
What does your monitoring cover?
Uptime and certificate expiry from outside, host metrics and container health from inside, application error rates and queue depth, database slow queries, disk and backup status, plus alert routing so the right person is woken and the rest are not.
