A focused stack of services covering everything you need to keep your infrastructure running smoothly.
Provisioning, hardening, and ongoing maintenance of Linux servers — from VPS to bare metal.
Prometheus, Grafana, Uptime Kuma — proactive alerting so you know before your users do.
Encrypted, off-site, tested backups with restic, rsync or Borg. Recovery you can trust.
Container workflows, CI/CD pipelines, reproducible environments and zero-downtime deploys.
Performance audits, hosting migrations, plugin issues and WordPress hardening.
Certificate renewals, DNS debugging, firewalls and end-to-end TLS configuration.
A few real engagements — names omitted, results not.
Designed and migrated a multi-service stack to a Docker Swarm cluster with automated TLS, monitoring and nightly snapshots. Reduced incidents by 80%.
Deployed Grafana + Loki + Uptime Kuma across 14 client websites with on-call alerts via Telegram. Mean time to detect dropped from hours to seconds.
Built encrypted off-site backups with restic, weekly restore drills and an audit log. Recovery point < 1 hour, recovery time < 15 minutes.
Replaced fragile FTP deploys with a GitHub Actions pipeline, ephemeral preview environments and zero-downtime production releases.
5tack is an independent technical practice helping startups, agencies and small businesses run reliable systems — without the overhead of an in-house ops team.
