The need.
Software in production needs reliable infrastructure: servers, networking, virtualization, databases, logs, backups, monitoring, hardening. For many companies the problem isn't choosing the tools, but putting them together in a coherent, repeatable, and well-maintained way. When operational pressure grows, hand-stitched infrastructure stops holding up: incidents become service downtime, logs vanish exactly when you need them, and post-failure rebuilds become long and fragile.
The solution.
M4SS designs, deploys, and maintains the infrastructure for the client's production software, covering virtualization, load balancing, databases, and monitoring, with configuration described in a declarative and repeatable way. We run our own S451 platform on the same infrastructure, using the same methodology we deliver to clients. The infrastructure is versioned, monitoring and backups are centralized. Hosting can be on-premises at the client's site or in a data center.
Technologies and approach.
- Ansible: declarative, idempotent, repeatable configuration.
- Proxmox: virtualization.
- HAProxy: load balancing and TLS termination.
- PostgreSQL: industry-standard relational database.
- Vector and Grafana: logging, metrics, continuous observability.
- Centralized SSH hardening, versioned user management, security by default.
- Hosting in a data center powered by certified renewable energy, or on-premises at the client's site when requirements call for it.
The S451 platform and our energy clients' infrastructure are all managed with the same methodology.
