I'm helping a small non-profit handle their IT infrastructure. There's nothing too fancy, just:<p>* Main website using NodeJS (hosted on Vercel)<p>* Postgres Database in Azure<p>* MediaWiki (hosted on a VM in Azure)<p>* Custom-build SaaS (also on VMs in Azure)<p>* Scrapers (Azure)<p>That's basically it. There are multiple small VMs which costs us a good chunk of our IT budget. I'd love to centralize them in a cheap dedicated server from Hetzner, but I'm concerned that it would take too much of my limited time to maintain it.<p>I thought about Dokku for the small webapp and MediaWiki, but I don't have experience with it, so I don't know how easy it is to maintain once setup, how backups work, etc.<p>My main goals are:<p>* Easy to maintain (using technologies as boring as possible)<p>* Price (the company is in Brazil, where we can hire some non-IT person for ~$400 USD)<p>Any suggestions on how you would build this infra?
It sounds like they have a stack that's working already, is that correct? If that's the case, why are you tasked to re-design it? Why not keep things running and improve only when and where it's needed?
