Infrastructure
Infrastructure & Hosting
Linux server management, Docker Compose deployments, and on-premise Windows infrastructure - the supporting layer that keeps the ecommerce platforms and business systems I build running reliably.
Background
At a German Software Development Agency I was responsible not only for the Magento codebase but for the entire server infrastructure the shop ran on - Nginx configuration, PHP-FPM pools, Varnish VCL, database tuning, and deployment pipelines. Separately, my IHK apprenticeship in IT Systems Integration and the years that followed gave me hands-on experience with Windows Server environments - Active Directory, Exchange, VPN infrastructure, and DATEV integrations for German SMEs.
That combination is unusual: most developers don't touch Windows infrastructure, and most Windows administrators don't write application code. Having both means one contact for clients who'd otherwise coordinate between separate providers.
What I Deliver
Linux Server Management
Ubuntu/Debian provisioning, security hardening, firewall rules, fail2ban, and unattended security updates.
Docker Compose Deployments
Dev/staging/production environment parity with service orchestration for PHP, Nginx, MySQL, Redis, and Varnish.
CI/CD Pipelines
Git-based deployment workflows replacing manual FTP uploads, with automated builds and rollback strategies.
Active Directory & Exchange
AD design, Group Policy management, domain migrations, and Exchange Server setup and maintenance.
VPN & Network Infrastructure
Site-to-site and remote access VPN configuration, firewall rules, and network planning.
DATEV & On-Premise Integration
DATEV environment setup and integration with Windows Server infrastructure, common in German accounting and tax office environments.
Who This Is For
German SMEs - particularly in regulated sectors like legal, finance, and accounting - that need reliable infrastructure managed by someone who understands both the technical and business context. I communicate in German, work to German quality standards, and understand the compliance expectations typical to these environments.
This service is offered remotely, with on-site support available for the DACH region on request, and pairs naturally with the platform and integration work built on top of it.
Technologies
Need infrastructure managed by someone who also builds the software running on it?
Whether it's Linux hosting, Windows infrastructure, or both - let's talk about what your business needs.
