Infrastructure we've built and run

We only show work we can publish, starting with the infrastructure you are using right now.

The problem
Serve a server-rendered site and CMS-backed blog from infrastructure the team controls, with repeatable releases and no single pod as a point of failure.
What we built
Cloudflare for DNS and CDN in front of a Kubernetes ingress with TLS; the application runs as a containerised, autoscaled deployment, with the CMS headless behind it.
The result
Every merge to main ships automatically; 2–6 autoscaled replicas keep the site serving while nodes are drained.

    The problem
    A WhatsApp Business API platform needs webhooks, queues and an API that stay up while customers send messages.
    What we built
    The production environment, deployment pipeline and monitoring behind the product, operated by the same team.

Infrastructure is billed separately by your provider, and you keep the provider you have.

Moving to Drasken Cloud is never a condition of working with us.

How it works

From first call to managed

  1. 1

    AssessWeek 1

    We review your setup, costs and risks, and write down what to fix first.

  2. 2

    Set up

    Monitoring, alerts, backups and deployments brought to a clean baseline.

  3. 3

    Run

    Updates, backup checks and alert handling during your plan’s support hours.

  4. 4

    ReviewMonthly

    A written review of incidents, costs and what to improve next.

Our promises

Handing over your infrastructure, without the risk

Four commitments that are in every plan, in writing.

  • Your accounts, your keys.

    Everything runs in accounts you own. We work with access you grant and can revoke.

  • Fixed monthly price.

    The management fee is set in your plan. Extra work only happens if you approve a new quote.

  • Tested backups.

    We restore-test backups, because a backup that has never been restored is only an assumption.

  • Response times in writing.

    Support hours and response times are set out in your plan. Standard hours are Monday to Friday, 09:00–18:00 IST.

Built on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, OVHcloud or your own servers, with Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions and open-source monitoring.

FAQ

Questions before you hand it over

How much does managed infrastructure cost?

Management plans start from $99/month (Essential), $249/month (Managed) and $499/month (Managed Plus). Managed Kubernetes typically runs $499–$999/month, and one-time work starts from $150. Infrastructure itself is billed separately by your provider.

Do you manage existing infrastructure?

Yes. Most engagements start with infrastructure you already run — on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, DigitalOcean, OVHcloud, dedicated servers or VPS. We assess it first, then take over management in agreed steps.

Do we need to move to Drasken Cloud?

No. We manage supported environments with the provider you already use, and moving is never a condition of working with us. Drasken Cloud is not generally available yet.

Can you migrate our infrastructure?

Yes. We assess, plan and rehearse, move applications and databases, test on the new environment, then cut DNS over while monitoring closely. Expected downtime is agreed in the plan; we do not promise zero downtime unless it has been specifically scoped.

What happens when a server goes down?

Alerts reach us and your team. Within your plan’s support hours (standard hours are Monday to Friday, 09:00–18:00 IST) we investigate using metrics and logs, restore service, and follow up with the cause and what we changed. Out-of-hours cover has to be scoped and agreed rather than assumed.

Do you support Kubernetes?

Yes — cluster setup, including lightweight K3s, plus workloads, ingress, TLS, storage, autoscaling, monitoring and upgrades. We will also tell you when Kubernetes is more than your application needs.

Can you help reduce infrastructure costs?

Often, yes. We look at utilisation, right-size compute and storage, remove unused resources and compare providers — balancing cost against performance and reliability. We do not promise a saving before we have seen the numbers.

Cloud & DevOps or Platform Engineering — which do I need?

Cloud & DevOps is for when you want us to run your infrastructure month to month. Platform Engineering is a project: we build CI/CD, Kubernetes and Infrastructure as Code for your own developers to run.
