Application Deployment & Management
Automated application deployment and management. Docker containerization, CI/CD pipelines, and reliable deployment for seamless website operation.
Application deployment
Developing an application is one thing, getting it to users reliably is another. I make sure your application runs stably, is easy to update, and new versions deploy without downtime.
What I offer
Server deployment
I set up the complete environment for running your application. From server configuration through reverse proxy with Nginx to SSL certificate security via Let's Encrypt. I work with Linux servers (Ubuntu, Debian) and cloud services.
Containerization
I package your application into Docker containers so it can be deployed anywhere with the same result. I create optimized images, set up Docker Compose for managing multiple services, and connect everything to the deployment pipeline.
Automation
I set up a CI/CD pipeline so that a new version of your application deploys simply by pushing code to the repository. I use GitHub Actions or GitLab CI depending on your needs. This includes automated testing, building, and deployment.
Zero-downtime deployments
I implement strategies that ensure users experience no downtime during application updates. The new version is prepared first and traffic only switches over after verification.
Backups and recovery
I set up regular automated backups of databases and files. I create a disaster recovery plan so the application can be quickly restored to a working state.

How deployment works
Requirements analysis
I determine your application's environment, memory, and performance needs. We review the current infrastructure state and define deployment goals.
Infrastructure setup
I configure the server, network, and security. I set up Nginx, SSL certificates, and firewall rules. If needed, I prepare the Docker environment.
Deployment configuration
I create scripts and configuration for automated deployments. I set up a CI/CD pipeline with automated testing and building.
Staging deployment
I verify the entire process in a staging environment. I test backups, recovery, and failure scenarios.
Production deployment
I deploy the application to production and verify correct operation. I check performance, availability, and security.
Documentation and handoff
I document the entire process for your team. I hand over access credentials and instructions for routine maintenance.
