HOSTING

Containerised cloud hosting, maintained by one person.

The missing link between your code and the server. I run anything that fits into a container and keep it: Rails, Node, Python, static sites, internal tools running. You get me on demand; your team stays lean.

COMMON SETUPS

A sample of what I am hosting right now, not a list of things I could build.

  • Rails apps with Sidekiq, Redis, and a dedicated PostgreSQL instance.
  • React frontends with a WordPress API backend.
  • Wiki.js + PostgreSQL for company-internal knowledge bases.
  • GitLab with decentralised runners for CI.
  • Plausible stacks for usage analytics across client projects.
