Quick overview

Cloud operations / managed services

This is an operational infrastructure project that became a real service offering. It shows how automation can solve both technical and business problems.

The problem

What needed to be fixed.

It's frustrating how often websites just go down. SSL expires, someone forgets to renew the domain, backups never actually run. Clients needed managed website services with assurance of site safety.

What we did

How we tackled it.

An automated 24/7 monitoring system was constructed featuring automatic backups, SSL expiration alerts, and monthly health reports using AWS S3, UpdraftPlus, and Better Stack.

How we built it

The approach and structure we used.

Here's how we thought about the implementation, the choices we made, and how we delivered it, without sharing anything that would compromise client privacy.

01

Implemented automated WordPress backup workflows that moved backups into secure AWS S3 storage on a recurring schedule.

02

Applied lifecycle policies to transition older backups into lower-cost archival storage for longer-term resilience.

03

Set up uptime, keyword, SSL, and domain monitoring so client websites could be checked continuously instead of manually.

04

Structured the system as a repeatable multi-client managed service framework with recurring reporting and proactive alerts.

The results

What this created for the business.

  • Websites stay up. Backups actually work. No more 3am panic calls about expired SSL.
  • Automated backups mean data is safe and recovery is fast if something goes wrong.
  • The framework turned website projects into recurring services, a real business model improvement.
About the metrics

We share what matters, keeping the sensitive details private.

The specifics of uptime and response times are private, but the system currently monitors and protects dozens of client websites with zero false alarms.

No pitch decks. No twelve-step sales funnel. A conversation about what you need and whether we're the right fit.
