Anyone who’s ever tried to deploy a complex application into production knows the drill: Everything runs smoothly during development, but as soon as infrastructure, scaling, or security come into play, things get tricky. Suddenly, it’s no longer just about code, but about the issues that administrators deal with every day: monitoring, performance, costs —and getting a good night’s sleep after the go-live.

Of course, you could bring your own DevOps talent on board. But such specialists are rare and tie up resources long-term. And any wrong decision in this area can pose risks for the entire project.

Our Approach: DevOps as a Service

This is exactly where we come in: For us, DevOps as a Service isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, but a partnership on equal footing. We step in exactly where it makes sense—pragmatically, with a lean approach, and always focusing on what truly fits your project.

  • Lightweight & On-Demand: We step in at short notice when support is needed—for example, with Ansible playbooks, security checks, or the deployment of a TYPO3 application.
  • Long-term & comprehensive: We take responsibility for the entire operation—from infrastructure and monitoring to backups and continuous optimization.
  • Step-by-step & scalable: We start small, build trust, and deepen our collaboration as needed.

Tried-and-true tools—used wisely

Whether it’s Ansible, Terraform, or Kubernetes: We rely on proven technologies, but always with a sense of proportion. Our goal isn’t to roll out the biggest cloud toolkit, but to deliver exactly the solution that truly makes sense —efficient, transparent , and tailored to your needs.

Case Study: avenit AG

The digital agency avenit AG (approx. 70 employees) operated its own data center for many years. However, rising costs and outdated equipment made operations increasingly inefficient.

The solution: migration to our proServer architecture —a FreeBSD-based hosting solution with root access for developers, but managed by us. Monthly updates, staging/production cycles, redundant networks, IPv6, and additional capacity at Hetzner now ensure scalability.

The result: effort and risks have been reduced without sacrificing flexibility—exactly the right balance for an agency that wants to focus on its core competencies.

Conclusion: DevOps Is a Matter of Trust

Anyone who manages infrastructure needs to be able to rely on it to work—reliably and predictably. That’s why we deliberately offer DevOps as a Service with flexibility: from one-time coaching to taking on full responsibility.

Curious?

If you’re considering how to reliably operate your TYPO3 or other web applications—whether in small parts or in their entirety— get in touch with us. Together, we’ll find the right solution.
