Servers

Here you will find the links to the documentation related to the servers.

Environment

Our team uses:

• Production for publicly accessible resources.
• Develop/Staging for shared-development purposes.
• Local for local development purposes.

Server Types

Non-local environments MUST use the following identification when created/managed. Each server should be responsible for only one service and no more than that.

Keeping server responsible for a single resource helps investigation of performance issues, allow any server to be replaced and updated without blocks by other shared-resources in OS/configs.

• Web: Run web server handling requests and host project repository tools for deployment.
• WAF: Web Application Firewall to protect, filter and mitigate Security vectors to web servers.
• Database (Redis/MySQL): Run a given database engine (storage/cache) like Redis, PostgreSQL, etc.
• Domain Park: host and manage parked domains (mainly our redirects form other domains/sub-domains).
• VPN: provide secure connection for remote-work on a need-basis. VPN server documentation
