MAINTENANCE / AFTER LAUNCH

A deployed system still needs ownership.

Buddy maintenance is separate from hosting. There is no fake “free maintenance” promise. Plans use the current Buddy annual maintenance pricing and are designed around the amount of ongoing technical attention required.

INFRASTRUCTURE / EXPLAINED

What happens after someone types your domain?

The infrastructure layer is a chain. A problem anywhere in that chain can affect the final experience.

01

DOMAIN

The human-readable address.

02

DNS

Points traffic toward the right services.

03

HOSTING

Receives and serves the application.

04

APPLICATION

Processes the request.

05

DATABASE

Stores and retrieves operational data.

06

EMAIL

Sends transactional communication.

07

SECURITY

Protects the whole path.

DEPLOYMENT / NEXT STEP

Build the system.
Then give it the right infrastructure.

Buddy can handle the public product and the infrastructure around it as one connected deployment.
