Six environments, one autonomous ops layer

Two products, six environments, one crab keeping them alive: Truelens and Neura/OpenCrabs across dev, staging, and production. It deploys, watches the certificates, pings uptime, self-heals the web server, and verifies the backups, so nothing falls over quietly.

  • Six environments: Truelens dev/staging/prod and Neura/OpenCrabs dev/staging/prod, each on its own server
  • Certificates watched: an hourly cert check tracks every SSL certificate and alerts before anything expires
  • Uptime watchdogs: the sites get pinged every five minutes, and an nginx self-heal restarts the web server if it drops
  • Disk and backups: monitors catch a filling disk or a failed backup before it becomes an outage
  • Deploy and release tracking: every deploy and GitHub release kept tabs on automatically

An ops layer that never sleeps: the crab watches the certs, the uptime, the disks, and the backups across all six environments, and fixes what it can before anyone notices.
