Delivering a secure, high-performing environment with extreme reliability is essential to all of our clients at RebelMouse. We only use industry-leading, reliable approaches to host our infrastructure. This ensures maximum stability and security for all our clients' data. Here are just some of the tools and practices we leverage to maintain a hard-bodied product that's flexible, too.
Four Mantras of the RebelMouse Environment
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
We use modern and reliable approaches to host our infrastructure for maximal stability. This means we host our infrastructure in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud because AWS is the most trusted, secure, and reliable IaaS in the world. We have great relationships with the folks at AWS and utilize the best of their services.
All of our production services are covered with AWS Auto Scaling groups, which means we can sleep at night without worrying that something may go wrong. Our services are self-healing 24/7 as well. And even our stateful services, like databases, are covered with reliable automatic failover and backup solutions.
Scalability and Performance
It's a crucial part of our work to make our application and all the related services we utilize scalable. All of our application services are stateless and covered by AWS Auto Scaling groups, and we monitor our services' performance and capacity on all levels. We use Nagios, AWS CloudWatch, New Relic, and Kibana to provide clear and accurate information about our performance. All of these tools are important as our clients grow on our platform.
Speed
RebelMouse leverages the most advanced content delivery and caching technologies on the market. All of our public endpoints are covered with custom content delivery network (CDN) configurations to provide maximum speed for end users across the globe.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Ensures Quality
Ansible is our primary orchestration tool. Ansible stepped into the market quite some time ago, and has been hugely popular ever since. We ensure that our code used for orchestration is of the highest quality, giving us the ability to move quickly and safely.
If something goes wrong, we don't panic. Our team of Rebels, which straddle almost every time zone, investigate and solve issues as fast as possible. Sentry and New Relic track any errors that occur to help provide as much visibility into every code issue, making it possible to resolve every issue quickly and mitigate any potential consequences.
Be Supported
2018 has been a turbulent year for both platforms and publishers. The ups and downs have been a good opportunity for publishers to rethink how they plan to nurture their audiences and generate new revenue. A lot of publishers may think uncertainty in the digital space means it's time to double down on in-house developers to create a site experience that stands out against the noise. But it's actually the opposite: It's time to invest in an external team that creates and manages tech for you, so you can instead focus on creating content that resonates with new and existing audiences.
Our infrastructure summary may come across as Greek to you, but that's all right. Let's create something together that isn't just powered by next-level strategies, but also innovative and stable technology. Your content will be both protected and optimized for long-term growth.
