Carefully managed hosting for your Rails application
Whether server operation, domain management, email systems, backups or monitoring: your Ruby on Rails application runs stably, securely and without downtime with us. Our experienced DevOps team ensures smooth operation - with maximum data protection, high availability and comprehensive maintenance.
Hosting expertise on which strong Rails projects build
Whether start-up, growing tech company or established corporation: many well-known brands rely on our experience when it comes to the stable operation of their Rails applications. Especially in critical situations – such as security incidents or scaling requirements - our customers appreciate the fact that their infrastructure is in experienced hands.
In addition to first-class software development, makandra's ability to respond quickly and professionally to all requirements in the provision of operational solutions for hosting and operation also stands out.
Seamless technology for your Rails architecture
We support all common services and databases.
With our many years of experience, we are familiar with typical error patterns and know how your services behave under load. We take care of monitoring for you, perform regular backups, and keep your services up to date with proactive updates. All services are operated as high-availability clusters with at least two servers as standard.
Relational, NoSQL and in-memory databases
We have been operating relational, NoSQL and in-memory databases for 15 years. We know their strengths and weaknesses, how to scale them, how to integrate each component into monitoring and how to make and restore backups.
Languages
and frameworks
We host applications with a variety of established languages and frameworks - including Ruby on Rails, Java, Node.js, Next.js, PHP and Elixir. We know your operational requirements and ensure a stable, high-performance and secure hosting environment.
Kubernetes
We operate Kubernetes flexibly in a wide variety of environments and tailor it to your individual requirements – even in combination with classic VM setups.
Infrastructure as Code
With tools such as OpenTofu, OpenVox, Terraform, Puppet and Git, we ensure traceable, versioned and automatable management of your infrastructure - for greater security, consistency and efficiency in operations.
Monitoring
We rely on proven tools such as Grafana, Prometheus, and the ELK Stack to reliably monitor applications and systems. This allows us to identify problems early on and provide full transparency regarding the performance and status of your infrastructure.

Support from real Rails experts
We complement your team of developers as an experienced external operations team - especially for Ruby on Rails applications. Whether it's troubleshooting, scaling your app or ensuring a smooth deployment process, we're here to help.
Our technicians can be reached directly by email or phone. On request, we can also accompany you in Slack – for fast, uncomplicated support within your usual communication channels.
We analyze your existing infrastructure and talk to you about your requirements: We check the setup via remote access, discuss challenges, planned changes and your expectations regarding the performance and availability of the Rails application.
Together, we define a monthly support budget and then take over operations. Typically, we support medium-sized projects with an effort of 2-6 days per month – you concentrate on features and further development, we keep your systems stable.
Yes - if you expect more than classic computing power. Our offer is aimed at teams that rely on a fail-safe, individually managed hosting environment. Instead of an anonymous server, you receive a personal setup – actively supported by our team. Where others rely on "off-the-shelf" infrastructure, we support your Rails application in the long term, reliably and with technical understanding.
Because you can concentrate fully on your application. Our offer is more than just hosting – we ensure that your Ruby on Rails app runs stably, even under high load. Whether complex system landscape or monolithic platform: we operate your environment as if it were our own – reliably, securely and with a deep understanding of the operation of productive software.
Our infrastructure grows with your application. From MVP to a platform with millions of monthly accesses: Together, we create the right architecture that grows with you and remains scalable. Example: Studyflix started with a small setup and is now one of the largest video learning platforms in Germany – fully hosted on our infrastructure.
We advise regardless of what is currently "state of the art" – but what really suits you. Many of our customers rely on our environment in the data center in Munich – cheaper than public cloud, with clear responsibilities and full control.
If the cloud is the better option, we can also take you there: e.g. with AWS setups for global scaling or distributed systems. Our goal: a setup that fits your project perfectly in technical, economic and organizational terms.
We take over operation – you develop your product
Our specialists will set up your new hosting environment and migrate your Ruby on Rails application smoothly, without any additional work for your team.
Your developers can finally concentrate on what matters: the product. Write to us – we'll take care of the rest.
