Monitoring, logs and alerting
Discover failures before your customers do.
What we can do
- Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Alertmanager or another suitable stack
- Availability, CPU, memory, disk, TLS certificates and containers
- Infrastructure and application logs
- Dashboards showing the state of the system
- Telegram alerts that carry the reason for the failure
- Event grouping and noise reduction
- A controlled failure to prove the signal actually arrives
- Operational documentation
Not included
- Being on call for your alerts around the clock
- Rewriting your application to make metrics convenient
Result: a working observability setup, verified notifications and a clear picture of your infrastructure.

Linux server and access audit
Find infrastructure weaknesses before they cause an incident.
What we can do
- Services and ports reachable from the internet
- Users, SSH keys and shared accounts
- Permissions, updates, firewall and SSH configuration
- Unnecessary services and unsafe settings
- Closing off access that is not needed
- Safe rotation of keys and credentials
- A report with priorities and recommendations
Not included
- Penetration testing and intrusion attempts
- Legal assessment of regulatory compliance
This is an engineering audit of configuration, not a penetration test and not a compliance assessment.
Result: a map of risks, unnecessary access closed and a documented improvement plan.

Incident diagnosis and stabilisation
Fix the cause, not just restart the service.
What we can do
- Metrics, logs and system state examined
- Disk, memory, CPU, processes and network checked
- Containers and background jobs reviewed
- Timeouts, restarts and resource exhaustion diagnosed
- Problem dependencies and points of failure identified
- A reversible plan of changes
- The agreed fix applied and the result verified
- Monitoring, alerts and a recovery runbook
Not included
- Changes to application business logic
- Large migrations — quoted separately
Result: a confirmed cause, a verified fix and a lower risk of the failure repeating.

Investigate an incident
Docker and reproducible environments
Run your application consistently on every prepared server.
What we can do
- Dockerfile and Docker Compose
- Application, configuration, data and secrets separated
- Volumes, networks and environment variables
- Healthchecks, restart policies and resource limits
- Versioned image builds
- Moving an existing application into containers
- Instructions for start, update and rollback
Not included
- Moving to Kubernetes without a confirmed need
- Building application features
Result: a reproducible environment, a predictable start and a documented update procedure.

Containerise a project
Automated deployment and CI/CD
Release a website, CRM, bot or service without manual file copying.
What we can do
- Build pipeline and automated checks
- A versioned artefact or Docker image
- Storage for images and packages
- Secrets moved out of the repository
- Test, stage and production environments
- Automated deployment
- Database migrations in a controlled order
- Healthcheck verification after release
- Rollback to the previous version
- Notifications about the release outcome
- Release and recovery documentation
- GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, TeamCity, Jenkins, Docker — whichever fits
Not included
- Building a new CRM from scratch — a separate product project
- Replacing CI/CD with Terraform or Ansible: they have another role
Suitable for websites, shops, off-the-shelf CRM and internal systems, Telegram bots, APIs, microservices and Docker applications on a single VPS or several servers. Deploying an existing CRM is included. Terraform provisions reproducible infrastructure and Ansible configures servers — both complement CI/CD rather than replace it.
Result: a repeatable, verifiable release tied to a code version, with a rollback you can rely on.

Backups and verified recovery
A backup is useful only when it can be restored.
What we can do
- Deciding which data and configuration must be copied
- Database and file backups
- Copies stored separately from production
- Retention and rotation
- Monitoring the success and age of the latest copy
- Notifications when a backup fails
- A test restore
- RPO and RTO agreed with you
- An emergency recovery runbook
Not included
- Recovering data that no longer exists anywhere
- Storage costs carried by the contractor
Result: a verified backup process and a documented recovery scenario.

Kafka and reliable message flows
Deploy Kafka from scratch or stabilise an existing system.
What we can do
- Kafka on a VPS, dedicated servers or in Docker
- A single broker or a small cluster
- KRaft configuration
- Topics created and configured
- Partitions, replication factor and retention chosen for the load
- Network access, authentication and secrets
- Producers and consumers verified from the infrastructure side
- Consumer lag, offsets and stuck consumers diagnosed
- Producer and consumer errors investigated
- Metrics, Grafana and alerts
- Basic failure and recovery scenarios tested
- Operational documentation
Not included
- Changes to producer and consumer application code
- Large high-load platforms and complex migrations — quoted separately after a load analysis
Result: a working, observable Kafka setup, or an existing system diagnosed and stabilised.

Bots and operational automation
Remove repetitive manual work from daily operations.
What we can do
- A Telegram bot for a specific operational task
- Reports and notifications
- Regular checks and repetitive operations automated
- The bot connected to an API, database or monitoring
- Safe administrative commands
- Logging and error tracking
- The solution deployed on your server
- Source code, documentation and access stay with you
Not included
- Open-ended product development
- Unknown legacy without a review first — quoted separately
Result: a working tool that cuts manual work and makes operations repeatable and controlled.
