Ship faster on Hetzner with automation you can trust

We design, automate and operate infrastructure on Hetzner—using Kubernetes, Terraform and GitOps—so your team can move with confidence and stay compliant with EU data protection rules.

Looking to migrate from AWS or GCP to EU hosting? We deliver GDPR‑compliant migrations to Hetzner and other EU providers with zero‑downtime strategies.

Solutions

What we do

Infrastructure Automation

We build reproducible environments with Terraform, Ansible and GitLab CI. From bare‑metal to Kubernetes clusters, everything is codified, reviewed and auditable.

Managed Kubernetes on Hetzner

Production‑ready clusters with secure defaults, observability, backup and autoscaling. We integrate Argo CD or Flux for GitOps and automate upgrades with zero‑downtime rollouts.

GDPR‑ready Migration to the EU

Move away from US‑based cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) to EU hosting (e.g., Hetzner) with a structured migration plan. We map services, cost, risks and implement staged cutovers with rollback options while ensuring EU data residency.

Application Scaling & Cloud‑Native Design

We modernize monoliths into well‑scaling cloud‑native systems: service boundaries, APIs, containers, observability and progressive delivery—without big‑bang rewrites.

DevOps Enablement

We help your team adopt CI/CD, container build pipelines and infrastructure testing so changes become safe, small and frequent.

Automation

Hetzner done right

IaC from day one

Servers, networking, firewalls and DNS are provisioned via Terraform. Changes are tracked in Git and applied through pipelines for full traceability.

Secure by default

We apply hardened images, least‑privilege access, encrypted backups and secrets management. Compliance is easier when security is built‑in.

Observability

Dashboards and alerts with Prometheus, Loki and Grafana give you the signals you need—without the noise.

Migration

Migrate from US hosting to EU (GDPR‑compliant)

Assessment & EU architecture

We catalog workloads and design equivalent architectures on EU providers (Hetzner and others) that meet performance, availability and cost targets while ensuring EU data residency.

Staged cutovers

We iterate: dev → staging → production. Each step includes testing, data sync and rollback to minimize risk and downtime.

GDPR alignment

Keep data in the EU, establish DPAs, and implement logging/retention policies to support audits and Schrems II considerations.

Consulting

Scale your application without the rewrite

From monolith to modular

Identify domains, extract services where it pays off, keep what’s stable. Strangler‑fig patterns, shared contracts, zero‑downtime rollouts.

Cloud‑native platform

Containers, CI/CD, GitOps, autoscaling, caching and queues. Kubernetes where it fits, simpler where it doesn’t.

Performance & reliability

SLOs, load testing, capacity planning and incident response. Tracing, metrics and logs to see bottlenecks before your users do.
