When this work is useful
Your app is live, but releases depend on one person. Cloud costs are difficult to explain. Backups exist, but nobody has rehearsed a restore. Or your team needs a hosting plan before building a new product.
These are useful starting points for a conversation with Hapy. We scope infrastructure alongside the application and the people who operate it, so that a hosting decision has a delivery plan and an owner after launch.
Start with the system you have
An initial review can cover the architecture, cloud accounts, deployment path, database, uploads, integrations, monitoring, and recurring operational problems. We agree which environments and systems are included before requesting access.
The output can be an architecture inventory, a prioritized improvement plan, a cost worksheet with explicit assumptions, and a responsibility map. Findings determine the implementation scope; a review does not imply that every service needs replacing.
Implementation and ongoing work
Depending on the agreed engagement, Hapy can work alongside your team on deployment configuration, environment separation, access and secrets, backup and restore procedures, monitoring, and infrastructure changes tied to the application roadmap.
A retained partnership gives that work continuity. The team can keep release instructions and operating documentation current as the product changes, review recurring failures and cost changes, and plan the next improvement with your product owner. Specific deliverables, capacity, review cadence, and support hours belong in the agreement.
We do not infer incident coverage from the word maintenance. Agree who receives alerts, who can approve production changes, response expectations, and escalation arrangements before relying on ongoing support.
Keep ownership clear
You retain ownership of your source code, cloud accounts, and service subscriptions. Access should be scoped to the work, with account recovery and billing controlled by your business. The handoff should leave your team with the architecture, deployment and recovery instructions, known limitations, and the next review priorities.
For migrations, agree the cutover window, validation criteria, rollback conditions, and the person who can make the final production decision. For existing systems, scope changes around the live application and the business constraints.
What to bring to the first discussion
Bring a description of the application, where it runs, the recurring problems, the people currently responsible, and the changes you expect next. If available, a simple architecture diagram and a redacted bill help establish the questions to investigate. Do not send passwords or production secrets through an enquiry form.
