Photo: Brian Harris, Public DomainManaged hosting is a trust business before it's a technology business. Customers don't see the Kubernetes cluster or the database layer — they see whether their site is up, fast, and billed correctly.
The infrastructure underneath is a Kubernetes-orchestrated container platform behind a global CDN, with Amazon RDS databases backing both the core API and the customer WordPress fleet, auto-scaling to absorb traffic spikes without manual intervention.
The parts that don't show up in a system diagram are just as load-bearing: billing systems that have to reconcile correctly every cycle, monitoring that catches a slow query before a customer notices, and a WAF/DDoS layer that has to hold up without anyone thinking about it.
