Infrastructure you can rebuild in an afternoon

Moving a hand-built hosting setup to reproducible, monitored infrastructure.

Illustrative engagementsThe engagements below are representative examples of the kind of work we do. They do not describe named clients and contain no client figures.

01 — Challenge

An online shop ran on servers configured by hand years earlier. Deployments happened at night, backups had never been restored, and peak season meant anxiety.

02 — Solution

All environments described as code, a deployment pipeline with automated tests and rollback, centralised logging and alerting, and a restore procedure that is exercised regularly.

03 — Technologies

  • OpenTofu
  • Docker
  • PostgreSQL
  • CI/CD
  • Prometheus
  • Grafana

04 — Technical details

  • Staging environment identical to production, created from the same code.
  • Alerts tied to customer-facing symptoms such as checkout errors, not just CPU load.
  • Runbooks for the most likely incidents, written with the client’s team.

05 — Outcome

Illustrative example. The goal of this kind of engagement is routine daytime deployments and a documented, tested recovery path.
