Serversinc: running apps on your own servers

Serversinc helps small teams deploy, back up and look after applications on their own servers, without needing a platform team.

The Serversinc website, with the headline “Run your servers like you’ve got a platform team.”

Serversinc helps small teams run applications on servers and cloud accounts they control. It brings deployments, databases, backups, domains and operational alerts into one place, so looking after infrastructure doesn’t have to become a second job.

The problem: running software takes more than writing it

Getting an application live is only the start. Someone still has to deploy updates safely, keep databases backed up, connect domains and notice when something needs attention. A small team may need those things handled without hiring a full platform team or handing over control of its servers.

The work it takes off your plate

Serversinc deploys applications from GitHub or a container registry, supports Postgres, MySQL and MariaDB databases, and can manage domains and HTTPS. It also schedules backups to your own S3-compatible storage and reports issues such as failed deployments, missed backups and full disks. Work with Serversinc wherever you are: use the dashboard, connect through the API, or let your AI agents work alongside you with MCP tools.

Built by using it

Serversinc is an active product, and I use it to manage real services—including parts of Serversinc itself. Building and operating it has shaped the product: it should take care of the routine work, make important problems visible and stay out of the way the rest of the time.

What this could mean for your business

The same idea applies beyond server management: find the recurring, error-prone work that slows a team down, then build a dependable way to handle it. For one business that might be an integration; for another, a custom internal tool or a clearer view of what needs attention.

If there’s a job your team is doing by hand that software could take care of, let’s talk.
