What it is
Hosting client applications and services on virtual servers. We pick a suitable provider, deploy infrastructure, configure it, and run ongoing ops — no need to own hardware.
What’s included
- Provider selection: by workload and jurisdiction. Russian (Selectel, Timeweb, FirstVDS) for local services and data-residency. International (Hetzner, OVH, Scaleway, AWS) for global projects.
- Deployment: OS install, baseline hardening (firewall, fail2ban, updates), SSH keys, application rollout.
- Monitoring: Prometheus + Grafana or Zabbix, alerts to Telegram / email.
- Backups: automated disk snapshots, off-site data backups to a different region.
- Networking: VPN between servers, secure admin access, load balancing.
- Scaling: adding capacity as you grow, migrating to higher-tier plans or a different host.
Typical workloads
- Corporate services: 1C Web, intranet, CRM, email, file sharing.
- Web apps and APIs: landing pages, e-commerce, mobile-app backends.
- Databases and analytics: PostgreSQL, MySQL, ClickHouse, OpenSearch.
- Backup infrastructure: replication of on-prem servers to cloud, disaster-failover scenarios.
When you need this
- You don’t want to spend on hardware for one or two services.
- You need flexibility: launched a project, tested it, either it grows or it shuts down — without capex.
- Data-residency requirement (local jurisdiction or, conversely, protection against local risks).
- Core infrastructure is on-prem, but you need a standby site for disaster recovery.
Approach
Not locked into a single provider. We choose by actual requirements — price, latency, jurisdiction, available services. If a provider stops fitting on any of those axes tomorrow, we migrate.
