Servers & Infrastructure
Reliable operation, security and monitoring for your systems.
A stable and secure infrastructure is the foundation of any web application.
I take care of setup, management and optimisation of servers so your applications run reliably, securely and at scale.
Why professional server setup?
- Security: Protection against attacks, regular updates, SSL/TLS.
- Performance: Tuned configuration for fast load times.
- Reliability: Monitoring, backups, failover strategies.
- Automation: CI/CD pipelines, containerisation with Docker.
Typical use cases
- Hosting Shopware 6, Laravel or Nuxt applications
- Setting up Docker stacks for dev & production
- CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments
- Monitoring & alerting on outages or security issues
Services
- Server setup: Linux servers with Nginx/Apache, PHP, databases.
- Deployment: Automated pipelines with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI.
- Security hardening: Firewall, Fail2Ban, SSL certificates, GDPR compliance.
- Monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana or cloud services.
- Backups & recovery: Strategies for resilience and data restoration.
Example projects
- Shopware cluster: Operation with caching, queue workers and load balancing.
- Laravel pipeline: CI/CD with automated tests & zero‑downtime deployments.
- Security optimisation: Hardening a client project incl. monitoring & backups.
Conclusion
With a professionally set up server environment your project becomes faster, more secure and more reliable.
I’ll help you build the right infrastructure — for small projects or large platforms.
Process
- Assessment & architecture: review of current systems, capacity planning, compliance requirements.
- Implementation: provisioning via Terraform/Ansible, container orchestration, secrets management.
- Observability: logging, metrics, tracing and alerting.
- Operations & evolution: patch management, scaling strategies, incident response playbooks.
Technologies & platforms
- Cloud: Hetzner Cloud, AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean
- Containers & orchestration: Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes (k3s, EKS)
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Buddy.works
- Monitoring & logging: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK, Sentry
- Security: Vault, CrowdSec, Let’s Encrypt, OpenID Connect
Compliance & operations
- Implementing GDPR, data processing agreements and retention concepts
- Documenting infrastructure, change management and access policies
- Regular disaster recovery tests and runbooks
- Continuous improvement to optimise costs and resource usage
