Cloud Infrastructure, Dockerization & VPS Architecture

We engineer secure, cost-effective cloud backend infrastructure: Docker container orchestration, Nginx reverse proxy SSL termination, PM2 process supervision, and automated CI/CD deployment pipelines.

Specialized Focus

Specialized Overview & Architectural Focus

Modern cloud platforms often charge steep premium fees for proprietary managed services that lock your business into proprietary ecosystems. NVIT.SPACE architects self-hosted, scalable cloud infrastructure using open-source Docker containers and Linux VPS hosting, delivering enterprise uptime with complete infrastructure ownership.

We configure hardened Linux (Ubuntu) virtual private servers with automated firewall rules (UFW/Fail2ban), Nginx reverse proxy load balancing with automated Let's Encrypt SSL/TLS certificates, and PM2 clustering for rolling application restarts.

Every service is containerized using multi-stage Dockerfiles, enabling reproducible environments across staging and production, automated GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines, and automated offsite backup routines.

Built for Growing Startups & High-Scale Operations:
Startups looking to slash $1,000+/mo cloud bills from AWS/GCP with dedicated VPS architecture.
Enterprises requiring self-hosted infrastructure for data sovereignty and privacy compliance.
Companies modernizing manual FTP deployments with automated GitHub Actions CI/CD.
Operations teams requiring hardened server security and automated disaster recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions: Cloud & Microservices Infrastructure

Managed cloud platforms add significant proprietary markups (often costing 5x to 10x more per month) while locking your architecture into their ecosystem. A Dockerized Linux VPS gives you identical speed and security at a fraction of the cost with complete infrastructure ownership.
