[Discuss a project](https://cuisine.digital/en/contact)[View our work](https://cuisine.digital/en/references.md) ## Server or cloud? A decision to make Choosing the right operating model for your web project matters from the outset. The question is often whether to use cloud, on-premises or perhaps a hybrid solution combining both. Each model has advantages and disadvantages. Ultimately, the decision depends on which model, with its process depth and services, best fits your project's requirements. Operating model based on requirements: on-premises, cloud or a hybrid combination of both. ## These factors matter We have many years of experience and extensive IT expertise across all operating models and their combinations. We know that investing time in preparation and choosing the right operating model pays off in smooth processes. We provide comprehensive advice, develop the best solution for your individual project configuration and implement it together with our partners. The complexity and structure of the project The integration of different systems The company's existing IT infrastructure The extent of existing IT knowledge Data protection Costs Scalability Redundant server hosting with monitoring and backups on dedicated or virtual servers. ## Server hosting We run your websites and applications redundantly on our own dedicated and virtual servers, with clear responsibility: round-the-clock monitoring and alerting, hardened systems, tested backups and updates in fixed windows. Operations follow the processes of our ISO/IEC 27001-certified management system. We align the data centre location, redundancy and recovery times with your requirements. Individually configurable servers provide the basis for running complex, international web projects. ## Cloud hosting Cloud solutions offer many configuration options, from IaaS and PaaS to SaaS. We work with [Microsoft Azure](https://cuisine.digital/en/services/azure.md) and [Amazon Web Services](https://cuisine.digital/en/services/aws.md), both of which offer European data centre locations, and with [STACKIT](https://cuisine.digital/en/services/stackit.md), the Schwarz Group's cloud, when data must remain exclusively in Europe. We also run websites and edge applications on [Cloudflare](https://cuisine.digital/en/services/cloudflare.md). You benefit from infrastructure tailored to your needs that can be flexibly adapted, scalability at peak demand and usage-based billing. Cloud hosting with IaaS, PaaS and SaaS in European data centres from Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. How we run systems ## Operations you can read about. Our servers are in Nuremberg. Every setting is code in the repository, every change is traceable and every incident has a documented procedure. These are the operations our ISO/IEC 27001-certified management system requires. **Infrastructure as code** Servers, firewalls, volumes and configuration are created with Terraform and Ansible. Every change is versioned, checked and reproducible. **Container platform** Applications run as containers on Docker Swarm, with Traefik as a reverse proxy and automatically renewed certificates. Deployments come from the pipeline. **Monitoring and alerting** Prometheus, Grafana and Loki collect metrics and logs from every server. Two alert levels distinguish what needs immediate attention from what can wait until business hours, including detection of load anomalies in containers. **Backups and recovery** Daily encrypted backups to S3-compatible storage, staggered across days, weeks and months. Recovery is documented as a procedure and executable as a playbook. **Updates in the maintenance window** Security updates run automatically. Kernel updates and restarts take place in a fixed monthly window outside business hours, with a backup check beforehand and a log afterwards. **Protection** Firewalls on each server and in the network, monitoring access only from known addresses, Cloudflare as a protective layer in front of applications and a security runbook in case something does happen. ## Three approaches, one responsibility [Container hosting with Docker Swarm](https://cuisine.digital/en/services/docker-swarm.md) Applications, APIs and portals as containers: rollouts without downtime, with TLS, monitoring and backups included. [Websites at the edge with Cloudflare Workers](https://cuisine.digital/en/services/cloudflare.md) Next.js websites and static sites delivered worldwide, with WAF, bot protection and deployment from the pipeline. This website is hosted this way. [WordPress hosting](https://cuisine.digital/en/services/wordpress.md) Managed Plesk environment with server caching, HTTP/2, automatic certificates, daily backups and maintained email delivery. ## Platforms and operations [Microsoft Azure](https://cuisine.digital/en/services/azure.md) Development and operations on Azure, Front Door and server-side tracking.
