Data location alone does not answer every compliance question

Sensitive and professionally protected data requires assessment of access, backups, remote maintenance, endpoints and connected services in addition to storage location. The local App Node provides a controllable technical foundation; the specific design is documented and agreed with the controller.

How it works

Operated locally with access aligned to your environment

1

The App Node runs at your premises

The agreed applications run on the provided hardware at your organisation. Local users and systems reach them directly over the internal network.

2

Access aligned with your environment

The node can remain entirely internal. External access is implemented through NetBird, WireGuard, an existing VPN or a secured gateway.

3

Data flows are defined

Updates, backups, remote maintenance and connected services are deliberately designed before deployment. Required connections and technical measures are documented.

Scope

Included with the managed App Node

  • Supabase stack (Postgres, GoTrue/auth, storage, realtime, PostgREST, Studio) preconfigured
  • pgvector for embeddings / AI search enabled
  • Point-in-time recovery and encrypted backups
  • Appropriately sized hardware for the contract term
  • Preconfigured base platform with encryption, firewall and secure administration
  • Installation and initial configuration of the agreed applications
  • Internal access or controlled connectivity through VPN or gateway
  • Backup design aligned with the agreed protection and recovery requirements
  • Monitoring, updates, technical administration and support by WZ-IT
Local application server

WZ-IT App Node

Compact hardware for selected open-source applications at your organisation. WZ-IT provides the node, configures the platform and application, and handles the agreed ongoing operations.

from EUR 349 excl. VAT / month · plus one-time provisioning and initial setup · 6-month minimum term

The hardware class is selected based on applications, users, data volume and availability requirements. For larger or highly available environments, we design an appropriate server architecture.

Sizing

Sized around applications and operational needs

App Node sized to fit

Compact hardware classes for different applications, user counts and data volumes. WZ-IT handles the final sizing.

Confidential

Larger EPYC server class with SEV-SNP for encrypted memory. This variant is sized separately for specific protection requirements.

HA pair

Two nodes with an aligned failover and recovery design for higher availability requirements.

Hardware and operations in one managed subscription

WZ-IT provides suitable hardware, configures the system and application, and handles monitoring, updates and technical support. Applications, hardware class and responsibilities are defined before deployment.

From Supabase Cloud or Firebase to your premises

If you already use Supabase Cloud, Firebase or a no-code tool such as Lovable, we assess dependencies and migrate schema, data, authentication and storage to the local App Node in a controlled process.

Software and service providers can supply applications for customers with elevated protection requirements under a local, documented operating model. Technical and legal suitability is assessed for the specific process.

Frequently asked questions

No. The expertise page explains self-hosting, technology and operations in general. This product page describes Supabase as a fully configured application on a local App Node, including hardware, hardening and managed operations. Suitability for specific legal requirements is assessed for the actual deployment.
Self-hosted Supabase provides the familiar core components. Whether changing only the URL and keys is sufficient depends on cloud-specific functions, versions, authentication, storage and connected services. We assess these points before migration.
No. The node can operate exclusively on the internal network. If a service needs external access, we design a VPN or secured gateway around the use case and document the resulting data flows.
Purely local applications can continue to run on the internal network. External access, off-site backups or connected cloud services are unavailable during the outage. The impact depends on the agreed architecture.
GDPR and Section 203 StGB concern different obligations. The specific deployment requires a combined assessment of technical data flows, involved parties, contracts and any contributing-person obligations. WZ-IT provides the technical documentation and accepts the required obligation where it forms part of the operating model.
Under the managed subscription, WZ-IT handles monitoring, updates, technical administration and support for the agreed components. Responsibilities, service windows and operational boundaries are documented in the agreement.
Local operation can provide a suitable technical foundation. Whether the full process meets legal and organisational requirements also depends on applications, access, endpoints, backups and connected services and must be assessed for the specific deployment.
An upgrade to a larger EPYC server class where memory is encrypted too - so data is protected in all three states: on disk (LUKS), in transit (TLS) and in RAM while running. The compact node itself cannot do this; Confidential is separate, larger hardware for clinics and especially sensitive cases.
The deployed open-source applications and agreed configurations are documented. Data and configuration exports, contract term and return of the provided hardware are defined as exit rules in the relevant agreement.

“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.”

“Communication with WZ-IT was open, friendly and professional from the very beginning. Mr. Wevelsiep and Mr. Zins responded to every one of our questions patiently, promptly and respectfully, and contributed their own suggestions and good ideas on how to modernize our server infrastructure and adapt it even better to our needs. Throughout, WZ-IT consistently kept our need for data sovereignty and GDPR compliance in mind. Even short-notice adjustments and change requests from our side were implemented quickly and patiently and integrated consistently into the overall concept. From planning to the final handover, every step was documented transparently and comprehensively - so if a provider change should ever become necessary, the documentation would let us onboard a successor into our infrastructure very quickly. We are extremely satisfied with WZ-IT and hope to continue working together for a long time.”

“WZ-IT provided very competent support in implementing our server and virtualization infrastructure. As part of the project, a Proxmox-based virtualization environment was set up along with a virtual machine for our application systems. Additionally, a structured backup concept was implemented. A particular focus was on security: the setup of a VPN tunnel and the clean implementation of encryption and access concepts were professionally executed. The structured consulting as well as the reliable and swift implementation deserve special mention. We are very satisfied with the services provided and are happy to recommend WZ-IT.”
