It might appear that developing a solution is the most challenging, but we shouldn’t underestimate the step that comes after it – running the solution. That part is equally important because you need to make sure that your applications and services are always available, even under high or unexpected usage. Not to mention, security or cost aspects of it.
That's why with StormHub Engine we offer the Platform Experience. A robust and scalable platform where all services are deployed and ran. As we are the ones who designed and built the Engine, we also know what takes to run all those services on a scalable and secure way, offering your end customers impeccable experience.
Beside running, we take care of all operational aspects of working with the platform, services and applications. From monitoring and alerting, to making sure there are valid and tested disaster recoveries in place.
End to end platform hosting
The main platform feature is hosting of services and applications where platform is taking care of deploying them and making them operational and accessible by end customers. In that process, you don’t need to worry about anything. The platform will take care of networking, storage, security, etc. by using modern technologies and top cloud providers. The whole process brings solutions uptime to 99.9% of time.
Scalability and availability
To be able to provide necessary availability, the platform is designed to put those requirements first. All components are deployed to provide maximum resilience and to scale in case of spiked or continued increase in usage. As everything, the whole process is automated and handled by us.
Security
One of the biggest risks of running online business is compromised security which can lead to data leaks or similar issues. Along with availability and scalability, security is one of the key requirements where we are putting continues effort to make sure we provide latest security policies and updates. Following best practices and standards on the market we commit our platform to have best possible security.
Monitoring and alerting
Monitoring and alerting are crucial parts of any platform which provides way to analyze and investigate different metrics and logs created by services, but also underlying infrastructure components. In case of suspicious logs or unwanted threshold breaches alerting mechanism can proactively trigger certain actions. For example, it can inform system administrators about the issue, or trigger certain automated operations which can mitigate problems.
Both, monitoring and alerting, are important platform components as they provide mechanisms to identify threats and increase stability of the platform and solutions running on top of it.
Updates and upgrades
With approach of having one platform which is used for deploying different components and solutions, updates and upgrades are automatically applied everywhere. This approach give us capability to continuously improve stability of solutions and reduce the risk of having systems which are not up to date.
Support
To wrap up the whole platform experience we also provide 24x7 support to make sure someone is always alerted, and someone is always taking care of potential issues and problems. On that way we guarantee the solution is always performing on the best possible way to your end users.
