Platform / Kubernetes

Dedicated Kubernetes designed for your application

We build dedicated Kubernetes clusters on bare metal, OVH, AWS or the client's infrastructure. There's no single template — we match the architecture to the app, budget, risk and growth plan.

For whom

SaaS and e-commerce production
Systems that need isolation
Companies with HA / DR requirements
Software houses with multiple projects

What you get

Ingress controller, cert-manager
Storage class, config backup
Prometheus / Grafana monitoring
Loki / OpenSearch logs
Harbor Registry, GitOps
Autoscaler as an option
Managed DB in-cluster or outside it
CDN / WAF, DNS failover

Variants

1 node — Dev / Starter
Apps just starting out, test environments, preprod, smaller services. Lower cost, simpler administration, no full HA.
2 node + witness — HA Light
Limited budget but an emergency scenario is still needed. Requires a dedicated approach to quorum, storage and the load balancer.
3 node — HA Production
The best default model for production. A sensible split of control plane, workers, storage and platform services.
Multi-node / multi-location
Critical systems, larger SaaS, e-commerce and companies with DR requirements.

For HA — a quote after a short assessment. Add-ons (1h backup, PITR, read replica, migration) are quoted clearly before deployment.

Why it's worth it

Why it's worth handing this to us

Full isolation
Your own cluster means no neighbours, your own versions, node pools and policy control.
HA calculated, not promised
3 nodes, quorum, load balancer and storage designed for real traffic and downtime tolerance.
Architecture for your app
No single template — we match the cluster to stack, budget and growth.
In every package

The standard you don't pay extra for

Backup and restore
24h backup by default, 1h backup and PITR optional, restore on demand and recovery tests.
Monitoring and alerts
Metrics, logs and alerts matched to your risk — you know about an issue before a customer reports it.
Security and access
SSL/TLS, access restrictions, RBAC, hardening and private networks and VPN.
Deployments and updates
GitOps, Helm, CI/CD, maintenance windows and prepared rollback procedures.
Locations PL / FR / DE / USA
We pick the region for latency, cost and EU compliance.
Documentation and care
Environment description, runbook, emergency procedures and contact with a technical person.
Managed vs in-house

Why managed costs less than an in-house hire

A single in-house specialist rarely covers 24/7, backup, monitoring and SLA at once. Here's a realistic comparison.

Your own specialist (in-house)
One salary = one person
A senior admin/DevOps is a full employer cost of ~18–25k zł/mo — and it's still just one person.
Available 8–16
Working hours, holidays, sick leave and weekends. A night outage waits until morning.
Backup on their shoulders
Separate tooling and storage cost; restore tests often skipped.
No formal SLA
No one guarantees response time; knowledge sits in one head (bus factor).
Tools and training
Monitoring, licenses, certs and training add to the salary.
VITAL CLOUD Managed
A 24/7 team
Many people, on-call and procedures. Someone's there even when your admin sleeps.
SLA in writing
An agreed response time per package, not goodwill.
Backup in 3 locations
Copies in three places, with validation and deduplication, and restore tests.
Service monitoring included
Alerts before a customer reports it; automatic service recovery after a failure.
Auto-provisioning
We start services automatically and repeatably (GitOps/IaC).

Illustrative comparison. Amounts depend on market and scale — but even one in-house senior rarely replaces a team, backup in 3 places, monitoring and an SLA at once.See how much you'd save

FAQ

When to pick dedicated over shared?
When you need full isolation, your own versions, node pools, autoscaling or HA that shared can't provide.
Is 2 nodes already HA?
That's HA Light — better than single, but with clear limits. Real HA realistically starts at 3 nodes with quorum.
Do you do autoscaling?
Yes, as an option (HPA/VPA/node autoscaling) — not as a default for everyone.

Not sure if you need 1, 2 or 3 nodes?

Describe the app, the number of users and your tolerance for downtime. We'll say plainly which variant makes sense.
