Deployment and configuration
Set up a repeatable route from code to a running application. Keep environments understandable and plan how to roll back a change.
Server management:
solid ground
for your software.
Your website or application needs care after it goes live. I help you manage deployments, monitoring, backups and security, with clear responsibilities for keeping the setup in order.
Let’s talk about your setupGood routines.
Fewer unknowns.
You should know how changes go live, how problems are noticed and how information can be recovered. I help put those routines in place around the software your business relies on.
Care that fits
your infrastructure.
We start with what you have and what it supports. Then we agree who does what, how often things are maintained and what happens when something breaks.
Monitoring that means something
Choose checks and alerts around the application’s needs. Make it clear what a signal means and who should act on it.
Backups and recovery
Agree what needs protecting, how it is backed up and how to restore it. A recovery routine is part of the work.
Updates and access
Keep software, permissions and configuration under review. Schedule maintenance and document the details someone needs to take over.
How we approach
server management.
Understand the setup
Look at the application, its dependencies and the current way of operating it.
Agree the routines
Define deployments, checks, backups, access and the responsibilities around them.
Keep the picture current
Review the setup as the application and its needs change.
FAQ
Questions about
server management.
Still wondering about something? Ask me directly below.
Who manages the servers?
I do. I’m Cedric, the independent developer behind Webaze in Kortrijk, Belgium. Since 2018 I’ve built software for businesses across West Flanders, in Ghent and Antwerp, elsewhere in Belgium and around the world. You have one contact who knows your setup.
What does server management cover?
Deployments and configuration, monitoring and alerts, backups and recovery, and keeping software, access and permissions up to date, with the details documented so someone else could take over.
Can you take over an existing setup?
Yes. We start with what you have: the application, its dependencies and how it is run today. Then we agree the routines and responsibilities around it.
What happens when something breaks?
We agree that upfront: which checks raise an alert, who acts on it, how a change is rolled back and how data is restored.
How long does it take to get started?
That depends on what’s running today and how much needs sorting out. I can usually give you an estimate in our first conversation.
How is it billed?
By the hour, and only for the hours I actually work. Most clients like to agree a ceiling price up front: you know the maximum, and if it goes faster, your invoice simply gets smaller. Nice surprises only. A fixed price is possible too, in the rare cases where that fits better.
Let’s look at
what’s underneath.
Tell me what you’re running and what feels unclear: releases, backups, access or ongoing maintenance. We can start with the part that needs attention.
