SynerMatrix Hosting OSPlanned: app hosting and managed PostgreSQLPlanned

Your app and its database, without the servers to look after.

We already deploy and operate software for our own products and for clients. Hosting OS is the plan to turn that into a platform: push a web application, attach a dedicated PostgreSQL database, set your domain, and leave servers, backups and patching to us. This page describes the design, not a service you can buy today.

  • Containerised web apps, each in its own sandbox
  • A dedicated PostgreSQL cluster per database, with point-in-time recovery
  • Organisations, projects, environments and roles
  • Fixed monthly pricing, no metered surprises

01 — Problems it solves

Small teams end up running servers

Teams that just want an app online end up patching machines, wiring backups and debugging certificates. The plan is to take that whole layer off their hands.

The database is the hard part

Stateless apps are easy to move; data isn't. Each database is designed as its own replicated cluster with continuous backup, restored by our operators on request.

Shared hosting means shared risk

On cheap shared hosting, one tenant's mistake can affect everyone. The design runs each application in a sandbox with its own limits and network rules.

Cloud bills are hard to predict

Usage-metered bills surprise small teams. The plan is a fixed monthly reservation with an explicit allowance and a plain invoice.

02 — What it's designed to do

Apps from a commit or an image

Build from a Git commit with a Dockerfile, or deploy a container image you already have. Two replicas, health checks, rolling releases and logs.

Dedicated PostgreSQL

Three instances per database with connection pooling, encrypted connections, daily base backups and a 14-day point-in-time recovery window.

Isolation by default

Each application runs in a sandbox with resource limits and deny-by-default networking. No customer gets access to the underlying cluster.

Workspaces and roles

Organisations, projects and environments, with owner, admin, developer, viewer and billing roles, scoped API tokens and an audit history.

Domains and certificates

A platform address for every app, plus verified custom domains with certificates handled automatically.

Recovery with a person behind it

A documented incident process, external availability checks, and restores into a fresh database service carried out by our operators.

03 — How it works
  1. 1Get invitedThe first cohort is small and by invitation, admitted on the resources their apps need.
  2. 2Connect your appPoint to a Git repository with a Dockerfile, or to a container image.
  3. 3Attach a databaseCreate a dedicated PostgreSQL service and grant your app access to it.
  4. 4Go live on your domainVerify the domain; certificates, health checks and rollouts are handled by the platform.

04 — Work ahead

01Proving isolation before anyone relies on itWe have written 37 qualification procedures covering isolation, failover, backup and restore. None has been run yet, and no customer joins until they pass on the exact versions we deploy.
02The hardware and the siteThe reference design needs dedicated runtime servers, a separate build machine and a network edge at one site. Those choices, and what they cost, are still being made.
03Honest availabilityOne site with one internet uplink can't promise zero downtime, so we won't. We'll publish measured recovery figures rather than an uptime guarantee.
04Which languages come firstAny app that builds into a Linux container should work in principle. We'll name a language as supported only after its test application passes inside the sandbox, starting with Node.js, Go and Python.

Questions

Can I host my app on Hosting OS today?

No. It is a plan and a specification, not a running service. If you need hosting now, we can deploy and operate your application as part of our engineering services.

Is there an uptime guarantee or a compliance certification?

No. The first release is designed around a single site and makes no uptime guarantee or compliance claim. We'll publish what has actually been tested.

Will it run any language?

Anything that builds into a Linux container is the goal. We'll name supported languages only after they pass our tests.

Interested in SynerMatrix Hosting OS?

Hosting OS isn't available. If you would use it, tell us what you run and what it needs; that shapes what we build first.
