Hosting and deployment
Containerised hosting, reverse proxies, TLS, zero-downtime deploys and rollback for web applications and APIs.
Repeatable deployments with health checks and one-step rollback.
6 deliverables, a 4-stage approach and 6 related technologies.
Overview
Deployment should be a routine, scripted operation that anyone on the team can run — not a careful sequence of manual steps performed late at night.
We containerise applications, build immutable images in CI, deploy behind a reverse proxy with automatic TLS, gate traffic on health checks and keep the previous version ready for instant rollback.
What we deliver
- Dockerfiles and image build pipeline
- Reverse proxy and automatic TLS
- Environment-specific configuration
- Health checks and readiness probes
- Documented rollback procedure
- Database migration strategy
