I will deploy and manage your app on AWS or your VPS monthly

I will deploy and manage your app on AWS or your VPS every month, so releases ship cleanly, uptime stays high, and you never touch a server console again.

What you get

• A reproducible deployment of your application onto AWS (EC2, Lightsail, ECS, or Elastic Beanstalk) or any Linux VPS you already own (DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Linode, Vultr, Contabo, or bare metal).
• Hardened server setup: non-root deploy user, SSH key-only login, UFW or security-group firewall rules, automatic OS security updates, and fail2ban against brute-force attempts.
• A real web stack wired end to end: Nginx (or Caddy) reverse proxy, free auto-renewing HTTPS via Let's Encrypt, gzip/Brotli compression, and HTTP/2.
• Your runtime configured as a managed service that restarts on crash and on reboot — systemd, PM2, Docker, or Docker Compose depending on your app (Node.js, Python/Django/FastAPI, PHP/Laravel, Ruby on Rails, Go, or a static SPA).
• A documented deploy pipeline: a single command or Git-push hook that pulls, builds, runs migrations, and reloads with zero or near-zero downtime.
• Environment and secrets handling that keeps credentials out of your repo (.env files with correct permissions, or AWS SSM Parameter Store / Secrets Manager when on AWS).
• Database setup or connection: PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, MongoDB, or managed RDS, plus automated nightly backups with a tested restore.
• Monitoring and alerts so you hear about problems before your users do: uptime checks, disk/CPU/memory thresholds, and email or Slack/Telegram notifications.
• Log aggregation and rotation so disks don't fill and you can actually read what happened during an incident.
• A short handover document written for a human: how the server is laid out, how to deploy, where the logs live, and what to do if something breaks.
• Monthly management for the duration of your plan: deploys on your schedule, dependency and OS patching, backup verification, and incident response.

How it works

1. Kickoff. You share your repository, the stack it runs on, and your target — an existing AWS account, a VPS you've already rented, or a request for me to recommend one. I confirm scope and the plan that fits.
2. Access. You add me as an IAM user (least privilege) on AWS, or provide SSH access to your VPS. I never ask for root passwords over chat, and I rotate or revoke any temporary credentials at the end.
3. Provision and harden. I set up the server or AWS resources, lock down SSH and firewall, install the runtime, and configure the reverse proxy with HTTPS.
4. Deploy. I build and launch your app behind the proxy, run database migrations, wire up the process manager, and verify every route and health check responds correctly.
5. Automate. I add the repeatable deploy command or pipeline, backups, monitoring, and alerting so future releases and recovery are one step.
6. Handover. I walk you through the setup, hand you the documentation, and confirm you can deploy and read logs yourself if you want to.
7. Ongoing. For the rest of your plan period I run your deploys, patch the system, check that backups actually restore, and respond when alerts fire.

Why choose this

I treat your infrastructure like production from day one: real backups that I test by restoring, secrets that never land in Git, and a deploy process you can read instead of a pile of undocumented manual steps. I work directly with you — no ticket queue, no handing your server to someone you've never spoken to. If something breaks at 2 a.m., the system I set up is built to recover on its own, and what it can't recover, I document so the fix is fast. You get the convenience of managed hosting without being locked into a platform: everything lives on infrastructure you own and can take with you.

Who it's for / use cases

• Founders and indie makers who built the product but don't want to babysit a Linux box.
• Small SaaS teams that need a reliable deploy pipeline and monitoring without hiring a full-time DevOps engineer.
• Agencies handing off client apps that need someone to keep the lights on each month.
• Developers migrating off Heroku, Render, or Vercel to cut hosting cost on a self-managed VPS or AWS.
• Anyone with a working app on localhost that needs to go live properly, with HTTPS, backups, and uptime — not a fragile one-off setup.

FAQ

Q: Do I need to already have an AWS account or a VPS? Not necessarily. If you have one, I'll deploy there. If you don't, tell me your budget and traffic expectations and I'll recommend a provider and size, then set it up once you've created the account in your own name.

Q: Who owns the server and the accounts? You do, always. Everything runs under your AWS account or your VPS, billed to you. I work with access you grant and can revoke at any time, so you're never locked in.

Q: What stacks do you support? Node.js, Python (Django, FastAPI, Flask), PHP (Laravel, WordPress), Ruby on Rails, Go, and static/SPA front ends. Containerized apps via Docker or Docker Compose are welcome. If you're unsure whether yours fits, message me before ordering.

Q: Can you set up a CI/CD pipeline so deploys happen automatically on push? Yes. GitHub Actions or GitLab CI is included on Premium and available as an add-on on Standard. I'll wire build, test, and deploy so merging to your main branch ships safely.

Q: How do you handle backups and what if the server dies? I configure automated database and config backups and verify them by performing a test restore. On Standard and Premium I document a recovery runbook so the app can be rebuilt on fresh infrastructure quickly.

Q: Will there be downtime during deploys? Basic deploys involve a brief reload measured in seconds. Standard and Premium can use zero-downtime or blue-green strategies so users see no interruption during releases.

Q: What does "monthly management" actually include? Your included deploys, OS and dependency security patching, backup verification, monitoring upkeep, and incident response per your plan's response time. It's ongoing care, not a one-time setup.

Q: What do you need from me to start? Your repository access, a description of the stack and any environment variables or services it depends on, and either AWS IAM or SSH access to your target server. With that I can confirm scope and begin.
