Crafting Software with the Integrity of Wood

Our Foundational Philosophy

In the heart of our philosophy lies the principle of crafting software as one would craft a piece of wooden furniture. Just as wood is molded, carved, and perfected by the skilled hands of a carpenter, so is software by a developer. Our recently published article in the Joomla! Community Magazine, "Making Software Wood Again," delves into this analogy.

Imagine buying a beautiful wooden table. It's yours – truly yours. You're free to add an extra drawer, paint it a new color, or upholster parts of it. You can even decide to further refine it and sell it, and the new owner has the same freedoms. This is the essence of our software philosophy. When you get software from us, it's like that wooden table; you're not just a user, but an owner with all the rights and freedoms.

Contrast this with large software conglomerates. With them, it's like paying to use a table, but never truly owning it. You can't change it, and you often don't know if someone's peeking into your data. It's like a wooden piece, always under the watchful eye of its maker, limiting your freedom and creativity.

Choose craftsmanship. Choose ownership. Choose the freedom that comes with software crafted like wood.

Docker

Accelerates how we build, share, and run applications

Why do we use Docker?
We cannot afford not to! In today's dynamic digital environment, ensuring consistent behavior across different environments is paramount. Docker provides an encapsulated environment called containers, which allow applications and their dependencies to run uniformly, irrespective of where they are deployed. This ensures a smooth transition from development to production without the notorious "it works on my machine" issue. Moreover, Docker optimizes resources, reduces overhead, and scales effortlessly, making it a go-to tool for both developers and system administrators.
Containerized Applications
A lot goes on behind the scenes when developing applications that clients does not even give a second thought, except that it works well. Docker makes our lives easier amidst complexity and allows the end user not to give it any thought.
Streamlining App Development with Docker
The world of app development is vast, with myriad languages, frameworks, and tools. This diversity, while a strength, can also introduce complexities, especially when these components need to work in harmony. Docker stands out by offering a simplified workflow. It encapsulates applications along with their environments, ensuring consistency across the board. This not only accelerates development but also eliminates potential conflicts. With Docker, developers can focus on what they do best: innovating and writing great code, without being bogged down by environmental discrepancies.
Our Experience Counts
Throughout our diverse and challenging projects, we've delved deep into the world of Docker, immersing ourselves in the intricacies of containers and their varied applications. Our motivation has always been clear: to maximize efficiency without compromising on performance. By leveraging Docker's capabilities, we've been able to significantly reduce our data footprint. This means leaner operations, faster deployments, and agile responses to challenges. Every project has been a learning curve, allowing us to refine our approach, ensuring we work smarter and deliver quicker. Our hands-on experience with Docker not only sets us apart but also ensures that our clients benefit from the very best of containerized solutions.
Built for Developers by Developers
Docker was not just conceived as a tool but as a solution to real-world development challenges. Born out of developers' frustrations with inconsistencies and the complex intricacies of software deployments, Docker presents a streamlined approach. It abstracts the complexities, offering a unified platform that understands the developer's language and needs.

Self-Hosting your private platforms

Embracing Self-Hosting: A Journey of Independence and Control

In the vast digital landscape, the allure of self-hosting platforms isn't just about owning the infrastructure—it's about embracing autonomy, securing data, and ensuring bespoke customization. By self-hosting, organizations and individuals reclaim control over their digital assets, free from the constraints and uncertainties of third-party providers. This empowerment translates to tailored solutions that resonate with one's unique needs, all the while preserving data sovereignty and enhancing security. In a world where data is the new gold, self-hosting is the key to unlocking true digital independence and integrity.

Self-Hosting Big Systems

We make it Easy

Imagine you're used to shopping at a huge mall where everything's available, but there are rules about when you can shop, what discounts you get, and they watch what you buy. Now, instead, think about having your own big store at home. You decide when to shop, what's on sale, and no one's watching.

In the tech world, using big services like Google or Amazon is like shopping at that big mall. But when companies want more control and privacy, they set up their own "store" or system at home, called self-hosting. This way, they make the rules and keep everything in-house, but it takes effort to set up and manage.

That's where we come in! We help businesses set up their very own "personal malls" or systems. You want it in your backyard? We can set it up on local servers. And the best part? We handle all the heavy lifting, from setup to maintenance, so you can enjoy the benefits without any of the hassle.

Reclaim Data Sovereignty: Local Hosting on Private Servers

In an era where digital data has become as valuable as gold, its protection, autonomy, and integrity have never been more critical. While self-hosting is already a stride towards enhanced control, local hosting on private servers is akin to vaulting one's treasures in a secure fortress. For large corporate firms, this move is not just about storage; it's about asserting complete dominion over data, uncompromised security, and ensuring an environment free from potential external prying eyes.

Beyond just privacy, locally hosted infrastructures guarantee optimized performance. Data retrieval and processing times are faster, resulting in efficient operations without the lag that might come with distant, cloud-based servers. It's the pinnacle of digital self-reliance.

We recognize the profound importance of this transition. That's why we offer a comprehensive setup of hosting environments, tailor-made for corporate companies, small or large, aiming to elevate their systems' privacy and integrity. By choosing local hosting on private servers, businesses are not only safeguarding their present but fortifying their future in the digital realm.

Autonomous Data Ownership

Rationale: As data regulations become more stringent globally, having control over where and how data is stored is pivotal. Local hosting allows for greater compliance and flexibility in managing data according to regional regulations.

Implementation Strategy: We help you begin with a comprehensive audit of existing data handling practices. Then we ensure the local servers are configured to adhere to specific regional data protection regulations, with regular reviews to adapt to evolving compliance needs.

Scalable Infrastructure Management

Rationale: The growth of a firm shouldn't be limited by its infrastructure. With private local hosting, scaling becomes more straightforward, as resources can be added without reliance on third-party providers.

Implementation Strategy: Opt for modular server setups that can be expanded as needed. We use containerization technologies and orchestration tools to efficiently deploy, scale, and manage applications on these servers.

Optimized Performance & Reliability

Rationale: Data latency is reduced when accessed locally. A firm's operations become more efficient, and the user experience is significantly enhanced.

Implementation Strategy: Invest in high-speed, reliable server hardware. We then implement caching mechanisms and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) even within the local network to ensure optimal speed. As part of the service we regularly monitor server health and performance to preemptively address potential issues.

Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity

Rationale: The integrity of a firm's operations is dependent on data availability. Local hosting offers enhanced control over backup and disaster recovery processes.

Implementation Strategy: We stringently implement automated backup solutions with periodic testing to ensure data can be restored quickly. It is imperative to have a secondary local server or a secure cloud backup for redundancy.
