At Ipsator, infrastructure isn’t an invisible backend—it’s the foundation that empowers every service we build. From running mission-critical platforms to supporting modern workflows across healthcare, tourism, and civic tech, our infrastructure has been engineered for agility, reliability, and scale.
This post offers a consolidated view of our infrastructure landscape: what we’ve built, how we maintain it, and the rationale behind the systems that support everything we do.
Our infrastructure strategy is rooted in a hybrid model—marrying the elasticity and maturity of Amazon Web Services (AWS) with the control and customization of on-premise virtualization.
All production workloads—web applications, APIs, databases, asset delivery, monitoring, and analytics—are hosted on AWS. We leverage:
To support rapid development and cost-efficient iteration, we maintain a powerful on-premise setup:
This combination gives us the flexibility to match workloads to the right environment while optimizing for cost, compliance, and control.
Fast iteration is a strategic differentiator. At Ipsator, developers have access to isolated, near-production environments—complete with mirrored configurations and data flows.
The outcome? Fewer surprises at deployment, tighter feedback loops, and greater developer velocity.
We operate with the mindset that backups are only as good as their restore reliability. Our strategy varies by environment to remain both pragmatic and robust.
With automated rotation policies and quarterly restoration drills, we ensure our Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) targets are consistently met.
Our backup policies are tightly integrated into our operations—not bolted on after the fact.
Network architecture is often overlooked until it becomes a bottleneck. We’ve proactively invested in a high-performance, scalable network stack.
Whether syncing environments, testing performance at scale, or moving heavy artifacts, our network moves as fast as we need it to.
Security is not about barriers—it’s about building systems that are resilient and recoverable.
We don’t just keep attackers out—we prepare for what happens when they get in.
Great systems don’t just run—they report, reflect, and adapt. Our observability stack spans across platforms:
This visibility helps engineering, support, and product teams converge on the same reality—and solve issues before they escalate.
At Ipsator, we believe infrastructure is leverage. It’s not just what helps us ship faster—it’s what helps us sleep better.
By blending the best of cloud with the discipline of on-premise control, backed by proactive security and deep observability, we’ve built a stack that’s as versatile as the problems we solve.
As a company certified under ISO 27001, our commitment to information security, business continuity, and operational excellence is more than a philosophy—it’s a practice we uphold daily.
If you’re curious about any layer of this architecture—or considering how a similar approach could benefit your organization—we’re always happy to share more.
We don’t just build for now. We build for next.
