A small team that
holds the whole stack.
OLNY builds software, runs the servers it lives on, and keeps both online. The three are one job here because splitting them is where most systems fail.

The short version.
We started the way most of this work starts: building software for other people, and then being asked, over and over, who was going to run it. The honest answer was usually nobody — the site went to a shared host, the server went unpatched, and eighteen months later somebody phoned about a certificate.
So we bought the hardware. Then we wrote the control plane to operate it, because the panels on the market decided things for us that we needed to decide ourselves. Today the same platform runs our own products and our clients’ systems, which means every weakness in it is a weakness we feel first.
That is the whole proposition. Not that we are the largest option — we are not. That the people who wrote your software are the ones holding the pager for it, and that the infrastructure underneath is ours to change rather than ours to file a ticket about.
Four things we actually mean.
One team, or it is not accountability
Splitting build, host and operate across three vendors does not distribute risk — it distributes blame. When the same people are responsible for the code and for the machine it runs on, an incident has one owner.
Boring technology, deliberately
We choose tools that are well understood and widely supported, because you are going to live with this system for years. Novelty is a cost you pay every time something breaks at an inconvenient hour.
Write it down
Undocumented infrastructure is a hostage situation, whoever is holding it. Everything we run is written down and handed over, including the parts that make us replaceable.
Say the number
Uptime, latency and cost get reported as measured, including the months we miss. A vendor who never reports a bad month is not measuring.
Tell us what you are building.
A short call, a straight answer on feasibility and cost, and a written plan you can take to anyone — including someone else.
