Security
We mainly use OVH infrastructure with DDOS protection.
Secret management (e.g. server access credentials and private keys) is done by using Hashicorp Vault.
Reliability
Server level (e.g. disk space, memory, CPU) and node specific metrics are monitored real-time and alerts are generated by using pre-defined thresholds by using Prometheus, Grafana and some custom scripts. We also have a weekly manual health check procedure to ensure our nodes are performing at required service level.
Performance
We are using bare metal servers located in Europe and America. High I/O, Raid 1 mirrored NVME disks are used. Each server is dedicated to a specific node, thus nodes are physically seperated/isolated from each other. Servers are selected in different locations to minimize risk of disasters happening in one location effecting many services.
Communication
We are easily accessible via Twitter (https://twitter.com/GateOmega) and e-mail hello@gateomega.com.
Governance
As per our governance prcosess we are aiming to monitor proposals and listen to our delegators. We actively involve in voting to represent our community. Another trigger is our observations and operational experience to raise proposals.
Best Regards
GateOmega
