RJ Autonomous designed and implemented an automated website infrastructure management solution to support uptime, offsite backups, SSL and domain monitoring, and recurring client health reporting.
This is an operational infrastructure project that became a real service offering. It shows how automation can solve both technical and business problems.
It's frustrating how often websites just go down. SSL expires, someone forgets to renew the domain, backups never actually run. Worse, nobody realizes there's a problem until the site is already broken. Our clients wanted to offer managed website services but couldn't without knowing their sites were actually safe.
We built an automated system that watches every client's site 24/7. Backups happen automatically, SSL expiration gets flagged before it's a problem, and there's a clear monthly health report. It's running on AWS S3 with UpdraftPlus and Better Stack doing the heavy lifting. The clients sleep better, and we can offer real managed services instead of crossing our fingers.
Here's how we thought about the implementation, the choices we made, and how we delivered it—without sharing anything that would compromise client privacy.
Implemented automated WordPress backup workflows that moved backups into secure AWS S3 storage on a recurring schedule.
Applied lifecycle policies to transition older backups into lower-cost archival storage for longer-term resilience.
Set up uptime, keyword, SSL, and domain monitoring so client websites could be checked continuously instead of manually.
Structured the system as a repeatable multi-client managed service framework with recurring reporting and proactive alerts.
The specifics of uptime and response times are private, but the system currently monitors and protects dozens of client websites with zero false alarms.
