Infrastructure Setup

Infrastructure Setup — Production-Ready Deployment

Infrastructure Setup is our professional service for configuring and deploying the Smartex Money platform on your infrastructure. From bare-metal servers to cloud environments, our DevOps team handles server configuration, load balancing, database clustering, deployment automation, monitoring, alerting, and auto-scaling — delivering a production-ready architecture from day one.

Every deployment follows infrastructure-as-code principles, ensuring reproducibility and consistency. Terraform, Ansible, and Docker playbooks are delivered as part of the engagement, giving your team full ownership and the ability to spin up new environments on demand.

What We Set Up

Server Configuration

Operating system hardening, kernel tuning, and security baseline. Java EE application server (Tomcat, WildFly) configuration optimized for FinTech workloads. JVM tuning for low-latency transactions.

Load Balancing

HAProxy and Nginx load balancer configuration. SSL termination, session persistence, health checks, and circuit breaker patterns. Automatic failover between application nodes.

Database Clustering

MariaDB Galera cluster for high availability. Master-master replication, automatic node provisioning, and backup automation. Read replicas for reporting workloads.

Deployment Automation

CI/CD pipeline with GitLab CI, Jenkins, or GitHub Actions. Automated builds, testing, and deployment. Blue-green deployments with zero-downtime and instant rollback.

Monitoring & Alerting

Prometheus and Grafana monitoring stack. Application metrics, infrastructure metrics, and business KPIs. AlertManager with PagerDuty, Slack, and email integration.

Auto-Scaling

Horizontal pod autoscaling on Kubernetes or auto-scaling groups on cloud. Scale based on CPU, memory, transaction volume, or custom metrics. Cost-efficient scaling.

Infrastructure Components

WAF & Security

Web Application Firewall (ModSecurity, Cloudflare) with OWASP CRS rules. DDoS protection, rate limiting, and bot detection. SSL/TLS with Let's Encrypt or commercial certificates.

Networking

VPC configuration, subnet segmentation, security groups, and network ACLs. VPN for admin access. Private DNS and service discovery for internal communication.

Identity & Access

Smartex SSO integration with Active Directory, LDAP, or cloud IAM. RBAC policies, MFA enforcement, and privileged access management via HashiCorp Vault.

Container Registry

Private Docker registry with vulnerability scanning. Image signing and verification. Automated base image updates for security patches.

Log Management

Centralized logging with ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana). Structured JSON logging, log retention policies, and compliance-ready audit log export.

Backup & Recovery

Automated backup strategies integrated with Backup & Test Lab. Full and incremental backups, offsite replication, and tested recovery procedures.

Deployment Models

Kubernetes

Full Kubernetes deployment with Helm charts. Ingress controllers, persistent volumes, and stateful sets for databases. Rolling updates, canary deployments, and automatic rollback.

Bare Metal

Direct deployment on physical servers for maximum performance. No virtualization overhead. Ideal for latency-sensitive workloads and data sovereignty requirements.

Cloud Managed

Using managed services (AWS RDS, Azure SQL, GCP Cloud SQL) for reduced operational overhead. Automatic backups, patching, and scaling handled by cloud provider.

Hybrid

Database on bare metal for performance, application tier in cloud for scalability. Best of both worlds with network-optimized connectivity between tiers.

Infrastructure as Code

Every infrastructure component is defined as code — fully reproducible and version-controlled:

Terraform

Cloud infrastructure provisioning. VPCs, subnets, security groups, load balancers, databases, and DNS — all as code. One command to spin up or tear down.

Ansible

Server configuration and application deployment. Playbooks for OS hardening, Java EE server setup, database configuration, and application deployment.

Docker & Helm

Container images for all Smartex modules. Helm charts for Kubernetes deployment. Docker Compose for development environments.
