CatamaranGo
Single DevOps dependency → stable, secure infrastructure
Backups, staging, security, no single point of failure
The situation
At an early stage, CatamaranGo relied on a single full-stack developer based in the US. He was responsible for backend development and DevOps at the same time.
At first, this felt efficient.
In reality, it became a critical business risk.
What went wrong
When the developer left the project, the team discovered major gaps
- No backup or secondary server
- No automated backups
- No staging environment
- No security hardening or monitoring
- No disaster recovery plan
- No way to review or validate DevOps decisions
The infrastructure depended entirely on one person. The first DDoS attack took the server down completely. Development stalled while the team tried to recover what had been built.
How Soft Launch Technologies helped
We introduced managed DevOps as an independent layer between development and production. We helped CatamaranGo:
- Design proper production and staging environments
- Set up primary and fully backed-up secondary servers
- Implement automated backups
- Introduce staging → production deployment flow
- Add basic security hardening and monitoring
- Establish clear ownership and responsibility
Developers no longer worked in isolation — their work was reviewed and accepted by a professional DevOps team.
The result
- Stable and predictable infrastructure
- Safe testing before production releases
- Backups and recovery processes in place
- No dependency on a single individual
- Faster development with higher confidence
COO feedback
Before this, we didn’t even realize how risky our setup was. Everything depended on one person, and we had no way to verify what was done. Once managed DevOps was introduced, the entire process changed. Today we are fully confident in our infrastructure.
