Transport & hosting basics
TLS/HTTPS for production sites, sensible environment separation, and hosting choices matched to the product — not a one-size vendor pitch.
Authentication & permissions
When the product needs accounts, we design login, roles, and permission boundaries as part of the build — not as an afterthought plugin.
Secrets & access during delivery
Project credentials and deploy access are limited to people who need them. We prefer shared vaults / password managers over chat paste.
Backups & recoverability
For apps we host or help host, we plan basic backup and restore paths appropriate to the stack. Exact RPO/RTO is agreed per project.
Dependencies & updates
We keep frameworks and packages on maintainable versions and discuss security updates as part of launch and optional ongoing support.
Ownership & exit
Repos, hosting panels, domains, and credentials are handed over per written terms. We design for handoff, not lock-in.
