Before launch
Solution testing
verified
Verification of operation and critical scenarios.
Deployment, security and support
A controlled launch. Security that continues after go-live.
I prepare testing, a launch plan, backups and monitoring. After go-live, the solution can continue to be monitored, updated and developed through optional support tailored to your needs.
- Pre-launch testing
- Backups and monitoring
- Support agreed separately
Complete launch
Code is one part of the solution. I can prepare the complete environment.
The scope can cover everything from a finished application or module to a running service on a VPS, including the domain, HTTPS, access controls, backups and operational checks. We can select the provider and specifications together, and I can help with the ordering process, while the purchase and ongoing billing remain directly with the client.
Delivery scope
From application to secure launch
one deployment
Starting point
Application or module
kod
A finished solution, integration, dashboard or automation.
Environment
Server or VPS
Linux
Configuration of the runtime, access and required services.
Public access
Domain and HTTPS
SSL
DNS, an SSL certificate and secure application exposure.
Operational readiness
Backups, logs and monitoring
online
Data backups, operational checks and important notifications.
Different technologies
An environment selected for the solution.
Not every deployment requires containers or the same type of server. The launch method depends on the application technology, scale and security requirements.
PHP / PHP-FPM
Python
JavaScript / Node.js
APIs and webhooks
Docker
Linux services
cron / systemd
Nginx / Traefik
Apache
MySQL / PostgreSQL
VPS / Linux
DNS and SSL
SSH / firewall
Continuity and security
The system works. There is also a clear way to restore and secure it.
Key risks are identified before launch. Configuration is part of the deployment, while subsequent checks and responses can be included in optional ongoing support.
01
Backup and recovery
A backup must make recovery possible.
We define what must be protected, where backups are stored and how data and configuration are restored.
During deployment
Backup plan and initial verification
Within ongoing support
Backup checks and recovery tests
02
Monitoring and alerts
A problem should be detected before it becomes downtime.
Monitoring can cover availability, errors, logs, server resources, critical processes and certificate expiry.
During deployment
Checkpoints and notification method
Within ongoing support
Alert review and agreed response
03
Secure access
Every access path has a defined purpose and appropriate permission level.
SSH keys, accounts, firewall rules and application secrets are structured so that the environment does not rely on accidental configuration.
During deployment
Accounts, keys, permissions and firewall
Within ongoing support
Change review and access updates
04
Updates and fixes
Changes are planned together with a backup and rollback option.
System, dependency and application versions are selected deliberately, and later fixes should not reach production without control.
During deployment
Stable versions and a controlled release method
Within ongoing support
Scheduled updates and fixes
How deployment works
A change moves through defined stages. It does not go straight to production.
The exact sequence depends on the solution, but every deployment needs a known starting point, a prepared environment, operational verification and an orderly handover.
01
Assessment
I review the application and requirements.
I establish what needs to be launched and what the solution depends on to work correctly.
- technology, data and dependencies
- domain, integrations and network traffic
- access and security requirements
02
Preparation
I build the right environment.
I configure the server and launch method to suit the application and its future use.
- VPS, services or containers
- reverse proxy, DNS and SSL certificate
- accounts, secrets and baseline protections
03
Launch
I deploy the solution and verify its operation.
I verify not only the landing page, but also the elements required in real-world use.
- application, modules and scheduled tasks
- forms, APIs and integrations
- logs, redirects and certificate
04
Handover
I organise access and next steps.
The deployment ends with clear ownership rather than an accidental configuration left behind.
- access, configuration and documentation
- backup, recovery and rollback plan
- decision on optional ongoing support
The stages are tailored to the solution. A simple script and an application with a database, domain and integrations do not require identical plans, but both deployments should end with a verified and maintainable environment.
What you receive
A working environment. Together with the knowledge needed to operate it.
The exact package depends on the deployment scope. The goal is always an orderly handover, not a configuration known only to the supplier.

After handover
The environment does not depend on ongoing support.
Working service
An application, module or automation launched in the target environment and verified within the agreed scope.
Access and configuration
Accounts, keys, domain, server and key settings, together with a secure method of storing secrets.
Technical documentation
A description of the environment, dependencies, change deployment method, scheduled tasks and where to review logs.
Continuity principles
An agreed scope for backups, recovery, monitoring and rollback, with clear post-launch ownership.
Independent handover
A complete deployment does not require purchasing ongoing support.
After handover, the solution can remain under the company’s control. If regular checks, updates or incident response are needed, they are agreed as a separate service.
Optional ongoing support
Post-deployment support is a choice, not a default subscription.
After handover, the deployment engagement can end, individual tasks can be commissioned or a regular support scope can be agreed. The model is selected according to the importance of the solution and the expected response.
01
Handover
Without ongoing support
The solution is handed over with the agreed access and documentation. The company can maintain it independently or appoint another supplier.
- no recurring support fees
- full handover of the agreed scope
- subsequent changes commissioned separately
02
Flexible
On-demand assistance
Work is requested when a specific need arises: an update, configuration change, problem analysis or feature development.
- no fixed monthly scope
- each request assessed separately
- timing subject to agreement and availability
03
Agreed schedule
Regular support
A regular scope can include monitoring, backup reviews, updates, minor fixes and an agreed incident response method.
- specified elements covered by support
- agreed work frequency
- clear request and response rules
When a problem occurs
The response depends on the model agreed in advance.
First, the impact and cause of the incident must be confirmed. Only then can a safe decision be made about recovery, a fix or rolling back the latest change.

Without ongoing support a request is treated as a new assignment. With regular support the scope and response method agreed before it began apply.
Frequently asked questions
The key points before launching a solution.
To begin, it is enough to identify what needs to be launched and where the solution currently runs. Technology, environment, security scope and ongoing support can be agreed after reviewing the requirements.
Are the VPS, domain and paid services included in the deployment price?
No. The VPS, hosting, domain, paid licences and other external services are purchased and paid for directly by the client. I can help select the provider and specifications, complete the ordering process and configure the purchased environment.
Is post-deployment support mandatory?
No. The deployment can conclude with the handover of a working environment, access and documentation. On-demand assistance and regular support are optional services with a separately agreed scope.
Can an existing application be deployed?
Yes. First, the technology, dependencies, data, integrations and current launch method must be reviewed. This provides the basis for preparing the target environment, migration plan and post-deployment tests.
What happens if a problem occurs after deployment?
The response depends on the agreed model. Without ongoing support, the request is a new assignment. With regular support, the agreed scope and response method apply—from impact assessment to recovery, a fix or rolling back the latest change.
First step
Simply identify what needs to be launched. We will define the deployment scope step by step.
At first, the current solution, where it runs and the expected outcome matter most. The server, domain, security, launch method and optional support can be selected after the initial assessment.
