Your infrastructure.On your terms.

A server you rent from a hosting provider and control yourself. A free PaaS to deploy on. A fixed server cost you can plan around.

Discuss your setup See how it fits together

Ready to deploy. And keep building.

The PaaS brings applications, databases and deployments into one control panel. Your team gets a foundation it can keep building on.

Security from the start

Keep internal services private and provide access to your app over HTTPS. You control who has administrator access.

Automatic deployments and previews

Review changes in a preview before they reach production. Deploy automatically from Git so your team can spend more time on code.

Your data. Your foundation.

Store application data in SQL or NoSQL, use caching for quick lookups, and let message brokers distribute background tasks.

Add more services yourself

Extend the setup with free, self-hosted services for object storage, monitoring and internal tools. The same types of building blocks you know from AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.

A server bill you can plan around.

Enfikra sets up the foundation. You get a server in your own account with a hosting provider, a free PaaS and the services your application needs.

Fixed rental for your chosen server — with no per-deployment or database-query billing in the PaaS. Capacity and any extras are agreed upfront.

After handover, your team or an external partner handles operations, updates and backups. See what operational responsibility involves

Setup: One agreed priceServer, PaaS and the agreed configuration.
Server rental: Paid to the providerFixed rental for the server you choose.
Extensions: When you chooseMore capacity and extra work are agreed separately.
Commitment: No minimum termSetup is paid once. The server is rented from the provider.

Here’s what’s ready when you take over.

At handover, you review the agreed configuration: access, deployments and your selected services.

Administrator access and documentation
The server account and administrator access are yours. Firewall and HTTPS are configured, and the setup is documented.
Your deployment workflow is configured
Your repository connection, automatic deployments and agreed pull-request previews are configured and reviewed with you.
Your selected services are installed
The agreed databases and services are installed with the PaaS. The documentation shows what is running and how to access it.

More control. Less to decode.

Usage bills, complex access rules and provider-specific services can make infrastructure harder to manage. Enfikra’s setup gives you more control over cost, access and the services you choose.

From unpredictable bills and platform constraints to a setup you control.

Area	Typical managed cloudTypical drawbacks	With Enfikra’s setupA foundation you control
	Your choice of setup
The bill	A final bill that’s hard to predict Usage, traffic and separate services can make the final cost harder to predict.	Fixed server rental. Free PaaS. You pay for the chosen server. The PaaS adds no per-deployment or database-query bill.
Access and overview	Time spent navigating consoles and IAM Many services and complex interfaces can take time to navigate and maintain access rules for.	Day-to-day development in one panel Apps, databases and deployments are brought together in the PaaS. You also have administrator access to the server and control who gets access.
Choice	Dependent on the provider’s products Provider-specific services and APIs may need changes when you want to move.	A foundation you can take with you Familiar services and access to code, data and configuration reduce dependence on one provider. A move still needs planning.
Operations	Operations on the provider’s terms The managed service sets the boundaries for operations and changes. Special requirements need to fit the provider’s product and the agreed service level.	You choose who keeps it running Your team or an external partner takes over ongoing operations after the agreed handover.

GitLab
A development platform for Git repositories, code reviews and automated pipelines.

From first conversation to handover.

How your setup is delivered. Each step has a concrete outcome before the work moves on.

Define the work
A shared scope and clear delivery criteria.
You show what runs today and what the new setup needs to do. Enfikra brings requirements, boundaries and acceptance criteria into a shared agreement.
Review the solution together
You see the agreed workflow working.
When the setup is ready, your team tries it together with Enfikra. Questions and necessary adjustments are addressed before the solution is accepted.
Take over with clear responsibilities
Access, documentation and a named operational owner.
The setup is reviewed with the person or partner taking over. At handover, you know where the documentation is and who to contact when something needs action.

Before you choose.

Do we own the server or rent it?

You rent the server from a hosting provider. You control the server account, administrator access, data and configuration. You pay a fixed server rental price directly to the hosting provider.

Is there a minimum contract term?

No. You rent the server from the hosting provider with no minimum term. Setup is paid once, and the rental fee is paid directly to the provider.

Are setup and operations included in the server price?

Setup has a separate, agreed one-time fee. You pay the fixed rental fee to the hosting provider. After handover, your technical owner is responsible for operations, updates and backups unless agreed otherwise.

What if we need more capacity?

The server is chosen for the agreed requirements. As those change, you can choose more capacity or plan a move. A larger server and any additional work are scoped separately.

Can we change hosting providers later?

Yes. Access to your code, data and configuration gives you a starting point for a move. The migration still needs planning, particularly for databases, DNS and any downtime.

What should your next deployment do?

Tell us about your application, data and current hosting. That turns your needs into a concrete setup with a clear price and responsibilities.
