We've moved to our own servers.

We've moved to our own servers.

Technical complexity does not scare us.

We have officially moved our backend to our own servers on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

When we started building, we chose Railway to do one thing: ship the MVP fast.

It did its job.

But we have always been comfortable getting our hands dirty.

Servers, deployments, networking, security, monitoring: we configured and built the entire backend environment ourselves, from scratch.

We are not afraid of the hard parts of engineering.


We Do Not Avoid Technical Difficulty

Some teams avoid infrastructure because it is inconvenient.

We do not.

Managed platforms like Railway, Render, and Fly.io are useful. They help teams move fast, especially in the early stage.

But convenience is not the same as capability.

We used Railway because speed mattered during the MVP stage. We moved to our own servers because ownership matters for the long term.

That means taking responsibility for the environment ourselves:

  • servers
  • deployments
  • networking
  • security
  • monitoring
  • operational setup

We are willing to do that work.

We are willing to understand the systems we depend on.

We are willing to handle technical complexity directly when the product needs it.


Engineering Capability Matters

We are not vibe coders who lean on managed platforms for convenience and stop there.

We know those platforms have value. We used one ourselves.

But when the time comes to go deeper, we can go deeper.

We can configure servers.

We can set up deployments.

We can work through networking.

We can handle security and monitoring.

We can build the backend environment ourselves when that is the right technical decision.

That is the point of this move.

It is not just an infrastructure update. It is a signal about how we build.

Technical complexity does not scare us.

We are willing to do what the product requires.
