Which applications belong to Automation & development?

The category covers 53 applications in managed hosting. The most common types are Workflow and data orchestration (6), Backend-as-a-Service (5), No-Code Database (4), Workflow automation (4), API gateway (3), BPMN process engine (3). In addition there are 3 applications that WZ-IT installs and operates on your infrastructure.

How do I find the right application?

What matters is the use case (workflows, code management, delivery, backend), the team size and the licence. The catalogue lists n8n, Activepieces and Kestra for workflows, Forgejo, Gitea and GitLab for Git, Woodpecker CI, Jenkins and Argo CD for delivery, and Supabase, Appwrite and PocketBase as backend. We review the feature set, licence and edition and the operating effort before the proposal; vendor licences are listed separately.

What does hosting an application in this category cost?

Managed hosting costs from €99.90 excl. VAT per month for a standard workload of size XS. We check which size the application needs in production before provisioning. It includes updates, daily backups with 7 days of retention and 24/7 monitoring. Larger instances and higher service levels cost extra; the configurator calculates the price of the chosen configuration.

What is the contract term?

Hosting can be cancelled monthly, with no minimum term and 30 days' notice to the end of the month.

Where is the data stored?

Germany, Switzerland and Austria are available at the same prices. All three locations are data centres without US clouds that are ISO 27001 certified within the scope of the respective data centre operator; in Germany we additionally operate with a German provider whose data centres are BSI C5 attested. A confidentiality agreement under Section 203 German Criminal Code (StGB) is also available for app hosting on request, at the German location only; the separate Section 203 Managed Cloud for professional-secrecy holders is available in Germany only.

How are applications operated on your own infrastructure?

WZ-IT does not run Nexus Repository Manager, NocoBase, and Windmill in managed hosting but on your infrastructure: installation, configuration and ongoing operation. Assessment and installation cost from €1,490 excl. VAT one-time.

Operations

What matters in operations

The following points apply to many applications in this category.

Automations run unattended
Workflows and pipelines can run at night and at weekends. Monitoring runs around the clock and reports technical faults.
Access to many systems
Workflow and CI/CD tools use credentials for other systems. TLS, firewall, administrative access and roles are secured during setup.
Versions and dependencies
Depending on their setup, development tools use runners, registries and databases. Updates are planned, checked and applied in the maintenance window.

Networking & Provisioning

WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.
