Gladis Technologies

Your app, live on your own server. You own all of it.

You built a web app. We put it in production properly: in your own AWS account, on one small server that costs about $10 a month, with deploys, backups and security updates that run themselves. Then we hand you everything.

This page is the demo. sample.gladistechnologies.com is a small app with a database, deployed by exactly the template we use for customers. The panel below is read live from that server.

  1. What you give us

    • Your repo, with an app that runs with docker compose and answers a health URL. Node, Python and most web stacks fit; we add the health check if it's missing.
    • Access to your AWS account through a role you create with one click and can delete any time. We never ask for passwords or keys.
    • Your domain, with its DNS on Cloudflare (free).
    • The names of your app's settings. You type the secret values in yourself.

    The sample's repo is exactly that: the app, a Dockerfile, a compose file, tests. Nothing about servers.

  2. What we build

    • One small ARM server with no open ports: visitors reach it through a Cloudflare Tunnel, and admin access is through AWS, not SSH.
    • HTTPS on your domain.
    • Deploys on every push to main, which pass only when the app is healthy.
    • Its database, backed up every night, encrypted, and restored into a scratch copy and checked, so a backup is proven, not assumed.
    • Security updates that install themselves, with a time limit so a stuck update can't block them for weeks.
    • Email alerts if the server or a backup fails; the app restarts itself if it stops answering.
    • All of it as code (Terraform and Ansible), in a repo you own, so the whole server can be rebuilt from scratch.

  3. What it looks like running

    The sample shares its server with our own two products, so the disk and memory figures are for all three. A customer's server runs only their app.

  4. How you maintain it

    Day to day, nothing needs a person: updates, certificates, backups and alerts run on their own. For changes, you get a runbook (deploy, roll back, restore, rebuild) and a setup for Claude Code with guardrails: read-only access by default, a plan before any change, and a hard stop on anything destructive. Any developer can pick it up. You don't need us afterwards; ongoing support is optional.

Keeping it cheap until you need more

One small server is plenty for most new apps. When you outgrow it, the next steps are already planned: a bigger server in place, a managed database, then more servers. We don't sell you Kubernetes on day one.
