Technical Strategy: Sovereign Hybrid Redundancy
This plan future-proofs the company by solving for scaling, uptime, and disaster recovery. This is the modern, hybrid approach every good CTO should use.
Static Sites (The Free Tier)
All simple static HTML websites will be hosted from S3 BUCKETS (using cheap storage like Backblaze B2). This costs us next to nothing and frees our cluster for high-value services.
Local Uptime (Power Outages)
We will connect the entire server rack to an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). This is a battery that keeps everything running perfectly during short outages.
Disaster Recovery
All customer data is backed up every night to AWS S3, GCP, and Oracle Cloud using their cheap, geographically diverse storage tiers.
Disaster Recovery: Fire or Flood
This is where our hybrid plan shines:
- All customer data is backed up every night to AWS S3, GCP, and Oracle Cloud (using their cheap, geographically diverse storage tiers).
- Recovery Time: If our entire physical location is destroyed (fire/flood), we can simply download the latest backups from one of the three cloud providers and restore our entire operation on new hardware (or a rental cloud server) in a different physical location in just a few hours.
- This fast recovery is only possible because we are not locked into one provider.
