Technology & Development – Tools for the whole team

Developer Tools: Your Tools, your control

Host your own Git server, container registry, issue tracker and wikis – confidently on German infrastructure rather than in third-party SaaS silos.

Why centron

Self-hosted, but without the hassle of running it

Having your own development tools means data sovereignty and independence – centron provides the foundation on which they run reliably.

Tools deployed in minutes

GitLab, Gitea, Harbor or Jira: a VM with root access, and your tool is up and running – template snapshots speed up every subsequent setup.

The code stays in-house

Source code and artefacts are stored on your servers in Germany – which is important for contract work involving strict confidentiality clauses.

Storage for artefacts

Volumes for repositories, S3 for build artefacts and container images – the storage layer grows as the team grows.

Automatic backups

cBacks backs up tool VMs up to once an hour – if an upgrade goes wrong, it’s simply rolled back, with no data loss.

From a single tool to a platform

Your in-house developer platform

Combine Git, the registry, the CI runner and the wiki within a single VPC to form an internal platform – accessible to the team, but invisible to the internet. As the team grows, the tools are migrated to Kubernetes.

In a nutshell

Which cloud infrastructure is best suited for hosting developer tools?

Host your own developer tools: Git, container registry and team tools on your own servers – full control instead of SaaS dependency. The cornerstone is ccloud³ VMs from €3.12 per month – billed by the hour, with no minimum contract term. This is supplemented, as required, by volumes and S3 object storage. All data remains in Germany: in our own data centres in Hallstadt near Bamberg, certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz and BSI C5:2020 Type 1. New accounts receive a €200 starting credit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why host tools yourself rather than use SaaS?

Data sovereignty, cost control and independence: your code is hosted on your own servers in Germany, licence and user costs do not skyrocket as your team grows, and you decide when to carry out updates – with cBacks acting as a safety net.

How much does it cost to get started?

The starting prices are deliberately low: ccloud³ VMs from €3.12 per month, volumes from €0.05 per GB per month and S3 Object Storage from €5.00 per month. New accounts receive a €200 starting credit valid for 60 days – you can calculate the cost of your specific configuration transparently using the price calculator.

Can this be implemented in a way that complies with the GDPR?

Yes. When it comes to developer tools, the source code, tickets and user accounts are the parts that need protecting – and are often trade secrets as well. At centron, Git, the registry and the issue tracker are self-hosted in Germany, without any provider having access to the data. Operations take place in certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz data centres; for ccloud³ / Managed Cloud, there is an unrestricted BSI C5:2020 Type 1 certificate. Further details can be found in the Trust Centre.
