Infrastructure & Operations.

The Stuff Nobody Sees That Makes Everything Work

Your Craft site doesn't exist in a vacuum. It runs on servers. It connects to other systems. It needs to be deployed, monitored, backed up, and updated without downtime. Content needs to move between platforms. Code changes need to reach production safely.

This is the operational layer—the infrastructure and integrations that keep your platform running, connected, and maintainable. It's not glamorous work, but it's the difference between a site that runs reliably at scale and one that's a single deployment away from disaster.

Why This Matters More Than You Think

Most Craft development agencies build the site and hand it off. They don't think about how it gets deployed, how it connects to your ERP, how content migrates from your old platform, or what happens when the server runs out of memory at 2 AM on a Saturday.

We think about all of it. Because we've learned—often the hard way—that a beautifully built Craft site on bad infrastructure with no deployment pipeline and no monitoring is a time bomb. The code quality is irrelevant if a failed deployment takes the site down for two hours, or if nobody notices the database is running at 98% capacity until it crashes.

Infrastructure and operations aren't separate from development. They're the foundation it stands on.

Our Infrastructure & Operations Services

01

DevOps

Ship Code Without Holding Your Breath

Every code change to your Craft site should reach production safely, predictably, and without manual intervention. That's what a mature DevOps practice delivers—CI/CD pipelines that test, build, and deploy automatically, with rollback capabilities when something goes wrong.

We build deployment pipelines tailored to Craft's specific needs: database migration handling, asset compilation, cache warming, and zero-downtime deployments that don't interrupt active user sessions. We also implement the monitoring and alerting systems that tell you when something needs attention—before your users notice.

This includes disaster recovery planning: automated backups, tested restoration procedures, and failover strategies that ensure a single server failure doesn't become a business-impacting outage.

Hosting

The Right Infrastructure for Your Craft Site

Hosting decisions have long-term consequences. The wrong choice creates performance ceilings, scaling limitations, and operational headaches that are expensive to undo later. The right choice gives you a stable, performant foundation that grows with your platform.

We architect hosting environments specifically for Craft CMS—containerized deployments, properly configured PHP and database servers, Redis for session and cache management, CDN configuration for asset delivery, and environment parity between development, staging, and production. We work with major cloud providers (AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean) and Craft-optimized platforms, and we'll recommend the right fit based on your traffic, budget, and operational requirements.

We don't resell hosting. We architect it, configure it, and can manage it on your behalf—but the infrastructure is yours.

Integration

Connect Craft to Everything Else

Your Craft site isn't the only system in your technology stack. It needs to talk to your ERP for inventory and order management. Your CRM for customer data. Your email platform for marketing automation. Your payment processors, shipping providers, analytics tools, and whatever internal systems your business runs on.

We build integrations that are reliable, maintainable, and resilient to the inevitable API changes and service disruptions that come with connecting multiple systems. Custom REST and GraphQL APIs, webhook architectures, queue-based processing for high-volume data exchange, and proper error handling so a third-party outage doesn't cascade into your Craft site going down.

We've integrated Craft with SAP, NetSuite, Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, and dozens of other platforms. The specifics vary, but the engineering principles are the same: reliable data flow, graceful failure handling, and clear visibility into what's happening between systems.

Migration

Move to Craft Without Losing Anything

Platform migrations are high-stakes projects. You're moving your content, your URLs, your SEO equity, your editorial workflows, and your business logic from one system to another—often while the existing site continues to operate. There's no room for "we'll figure it out as we go."

We build migration pipelines that extract content from your current platform (WordPress, Drupal, Magento, Shopify, or proprietary systems), transform it to fit your new Craft content model, and load it cleanly. We preserve URL structures and implement redirects to protect SEO value. We map content relationships, handle asset migration, and validate the results against the source data.

For complex migrations, we run the pipeline repeatedly during development so you can review migrated content in staging before the final cutover. The goal is a launch day with no surprises.

How We Approach Infrastructure & Operations

  1. 01
    We Audit What Exists First

    Before recommending any changes, we assess your current infrastructure, deployment processes, integrations, and operational practices. You might have perfectly good hosting that just needs configuration tuning. Your deployment process might be one small automation away from being reliable. We don't rip things out unnecessarily.

  2. 02
    We Build for Your Team's Capabilities

    Not every team has a dedicated DevOps engineer. We design infrastructure and operational workflows that match your team's technical capacity. If you have a strong ops team, we'll build sophisticated automation they can extend. If your developers just want to push code and have it go live safely, we'll build a pipeline that handles the rest.

  3. 03
    We Document Everything

    Infrastructure and operations work is uniquely dependent on documentation. Six months from now, when someone needs to understand why the caching layer is configured a certain way or how the ERP integration handles order cancellations, the answer needs to be written down. We document every system we build, every decision we make, and every operational procedure your team needs to follow.

Infrastructure & Operations FAQ

  • 01

    Do we need all of these services, or can we pick and choose?

    Pick what you need. Most clients start with one or two—typically DevOps and hosting when launching a new Craft site, or integration and migration when moving from another platform. These services are designed to work independently, though they naturally complement each other.

  • 02

    Can you manage our infrastructure on an ongoing basis?

    Yes. We offer managed infrastructure retainers that include server monitoring, security patching, backup verification, uptime management, and incident response. Many clients prefer this over hiring a dedicated ops person, especially if their Craft site is their primary infrastructure need.

  • 03

    We already have hosting. Can you just improve our setup?

    Absolutely. We frequently audit and optimize existing hosting environments—tuning PHP configurations, adding caching layers, improving database performance, and fixing deployment pipelines. You don't need to migrate to new hosting to see significant improvements.

  • 04

    How do you handle migrations from platforms you don't specialize in?

    We specialize in the destination (Craft CMS), not the source. We've migrated content from WordPress, Drupal, Magento, Shopify, ExpressionEngine, Contentful, and various custom-built systems. The extraction approach varies by platform, but the transformation and loading pipeline is consistent. If your content can be exported or accessed via an API, we can migrate it.

  • 05

    What about security? Is that part of infrastructure work?

    Security is baked into everything we do at the infrastructure level—firewall configuration, SSL management, access controls, dependency scanning, and secure deployment practices. For application-level security (Craft-specific vulnerabilities, authentication hardening, content permissions), that's part of our Core Craft Development work. For active security incident response, see our Project Rescue services.

  • 06

    How long does a typical migration take?

    Content-only migrations from well-structured platforms (WordPress, Drupal) typically take 4-8 weeks including content modeling, pipeline development, validation, and cutover. Complex migrations involving commerce data, custom integrations, and legacy systems can run 10-16 weeks. The biggest variable is content complexity—a site with 500 pages of structured content migrates very differently from one with 50,000 entries across 30 content types with complex relationships.
