The people watching your app while you sleep.
Stackbastion is managed production for AI-built apps. You prompted it into existence — we keep it alive: tested backups, your own Postgres, EU data residency, GDPR operated for you, and a named engineer who answers when something breaks.
Anyone can build software now. Almost no one can operate it.
In 2025, something remarkable happened: millions of people who had never written code shipped real software. Lovable alone was seeing over 100,000 new projects a day, and most of its builders weren't developers. Founders built products in a weekend that would have taken an agency six months. It was, and is, genuinely wonderful.
Then the first wave of those apps met production. And production didn't care how the code was written.
The record from 2025–26 tells the story: roughly 1.5 million API keys exposed across a handful of incidents. A vulnerability (CVE-2025-48757) that left the access controls of 170 production apps inverted. A window of weeks in which thousands of projects, source code, database credentials, and customer data, were readable by strangers. Behind every one of those statistics was a builder who did nothing wrong. They used the tools exactly as advertised. The tools are for building. Nobody was doing the keeping.
That's the gap Stackbastion exists to fill.
We started the way we think every honest infrastructure company should: not with a platform, but with rescues. Builders came to us with apps that had real users and real problems: leaked keys, no working backup, a database they couldn't leave their platform's sandbox to control. We fixed them, one at a time, by hand, with a written runbook and a restore drill before we ever said "done." The subscription service grew out of those rescues, because the same builders kept asking the same question afterwards: "can you just… keep doing this?"
Yes. That's the product.
Why "Stackbastion"
A bastion is the part of a fortress built to hold, the strongpoint that stands when everything else is under pressure. In infrastructure engineering, a bastion host is the hardened, guarded gateway that protects everything behind it. Your stack, the code, the database, the domain, the backups, deserves to live somewhere like that.
We deliberately did not name ourselves after perfection. No honest host can promise your app will never go down. What we promise is what a bastion promises: when trouble comes, this is the part that holds. The backups are tested, the data is recoverable, and a named human is already moving.
Who we are
Stackbastion is built and operated by AKTAI LTD, a UK-registered company (see company details). Your infrastructure runs on EU servers, your data stays in the region you choose, and our data processing agreement is signed by a UK/EU-reachable entity with a real breach-response runbook behind it, not a PDF and a prayer.
What we believe
- Somebody must be accountable. Tools scan, dashboards alert, but at 3 a.m., accountability is a person with a name. Every Stackbastion customer knows who is on call for them.
- A backup you haven't restored is a hope, not a backup. We run a restore drill at every onboarding and keep running them.
- Your data is yours, including the right to take it and go. Your own Postgres, exportable at any time.
- Flat pricing, no surprise bills. If you're outgrowing your plan, we tell you; we never charge you for the surprise.
- Compliance is a practice, not a paper. We operate your obligations: records of processing, technical measures, and a rehearsed 72-hour breach-response runbook.
- We do less, deliberately. We don't build your features, redesign your UI, or promise five nines. We keep vibe-coded apps alive, recoverable, and compliant.
The honest fine print
We will never tell you your app can't go down; anyone who tells you that is selling something they don't control. What we commit to: monitored infrastructure, backups tested by actual restores, EU data residency, a signed DPA, and a named engineer responding within the response time of your plan. That's the promise. It's smaller than "never down," and unlike "never down," we can keep it.
