Running self-hosted platforms for clients
Self-hosted platforms kept running, patched and monitored
Context
The OpsBreak team manages multiple self-hosted platforms for clients who prefer to run software on infrastructure they control.
Client details are withheld for confidentiality, so this page describes the work in general terms.
The challenge
Self-hosting gives control over data and cost, but someone has to handle upgrades, security patches, backups and incidents.
Without that ongoing work, self-hosted platforms drift out of date and become a risk.
What we did
- 1
Define each platform as code
Infrastructure and configuration are kept in version control so a platform can be rebuilt the same way.
- 2
Run on Kubernetes where it fits
Platforms that suit containers run on Kubernetes, which makes upgrades and scaling more predictable.
- 3
Monitor and alert
Each platform has health checks, dashboards and alerts so issues are seen before users report them.
- 4
Patch and back up
Upgrades and security patches are applied on a schedule, and backups are taken and tested.
Results
- Self-hosted platforms kept running, patched and monitored
- Configuration held in version control
- Backups taken and tested
