High-performance cloud architecture for SaaS platforms
Your SaaS serves European customers, needs high database IOPS, must keep data in the EU under GDPR, and runs on a small engineering team.
Why standard VPS and unoptimized cloud tiers fall short
Database I/O suffers from noisy-neighbor disk contention, production lacks cluster high availability, and staging costs the full rate around the clock, even when nobody is using it.
Engineered for high availability and low latency
Distributed NVMe storage
Software-defined NVMe storage delivers sub-millisecond I/O latency for high-concurrency database workloads.
Built-in high availability and anti-affinity
High availability (HA) mode paired with anti-affinity rules ensures automatic instance restart on healthy nodes and guarantees that primary and replica nodes run on separate physical hypervisors.
VM high availability
HA resource affinity
201 (db-1), 202 (db-2)
Keep the database off the public internet
Isolated app-to-DB private networks
Application nodes communicate with database instances over a secure private network, without exposing database ports to the public internet.
WireGuard access gateways
Cloud Gateway enables secure WireGuard VPN tunnels into private project networks, keeping internal admin dashboards hidden from public port scanners.
Less operational work for a lean team
Granular file-level backups
Project-level automated backups with instant file extraction, allowing you to restore specific database dumps or config files without rolling back the entire VM.
Cost-optimized staging environments
Automate staging instance shutdowns during non-working hours to eliminate vCPU and RAM billing when developers are offline.
CI/CD and AI agents (MCP)
Connect deployment pipelines or AI assistants via our native MCP server and OpenAPI to spin up preview environments on demand and verify migrations automatically.
Sample architecture: high-availability prod and staging
- 2 × 4 vCPU Regular · 8 GiB RAM · 80 GiB NVMe · in HA
- 2 vCPU Light · 4 GiB RAM · 40 GiB NVMe
- Private network · 2 × Public IPv4
- Backups · 7 days · ~320 GiB
Maximum monthly price cap. Stopped staging automatically pauses vCPU/RAM billing.

Do you offer multi-region disaster recovery?
hostd operates as a single high-availability region in Warsaw. Backups are stored in a physically separate data center, so your data survives a full site outage.

Can infrastructure management be automated via CI/CD or AI agents?
Yes. In addition to our OpenAPI REST API for GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, our native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables compatible AI agents (including Cursor and Claude) to provision ephemeral preview environments and execute operational tasks safely.
