5050cloud and a plain VPS

Running apps on a VPS by hand is cheapest in software but costs time; 5050cloud automates the parts that take it.

What you would do by hand

• Install Docker, a reverse proxy and certificates.
• Write deploy scripts, health checks and rollbacks.
• Set up database backups, test restores and watch disk use.
• Wire logs and metrics.
• Repeat it on every new server and keep it patched.

What 5050cloud does

• One command installs it all with HTTPS by default.
• Git deploys with health checks, zero-downtime rollouts for services without a volume, and rollbacks that restore variables.
• Databases with point-in-time backups to your bucket and monthly restore tests.
• Logs, metrics, monitors and alerts.
• New hosts join with one command.
• Unattended security updates and self-reverting upgrades.
