Algol Core
Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure. Startup Economics.
Algol Core is my opinionated, production-proven reference architecture. It is the foundation of everything I build—designed to be secure, observable, and radically cost-effective.
I believe you shouldn't need a team of 10 DevOps engineers to run a reliable platform.
The Stack
| Layer | Technology | Why I Chose It |
|---|---|---|
| Compute | Hetzner Cloud | Unbeatable performance/price ratio. Dedicated vCPU instances. |
| Orchestration | K3s (HA) | Lightweight, certified Kubernetes. Perfect for edge and efficiency. |
| IaC | Pulumi (Python) | Real code for infrastructure. Type-safe, modular, and testable. |
| Networking | Cilium CNI | Advanced eBPF-based networking, security, and observability. |
| Security | Cert-Manager + Vault | Automated TLS (DNS-01) and secrets management. |
Technical Highlights
The platform uses PodDisruptionBudgets and PriorityClasses to ensure critical system services (storage, DNS, ingress) never go down, even during aggressive updates or node failures.
Why Algol Core?
Zero-Trust Security
Default-deny policies, encrypted traffic, no exposed surfaces
Cost Efficient
70-80% cheaper than hyperscaler equivalents
Self-Healing
Automatic recovery from node failures and disruptions
Deep Observability
Layer 7 visibility without sidecars via eBPF
