PikaPods

:octicons-link-external-16: PikaPods is an open source app hosting provider that we use to host some of our internal apps.

Hosted Apps

Regions

When it makes sense, host any new pods in the :flag_eu: EU region, as it places the pod closer to the majority of our services. For our USA hosted services, or in other special situations, pods can also be hosted in the :flag_us: US region.

Backups

PikaPods offers the capability to back up the hosted apps to an S3-compatible service (in our case, B2).

See :octicons-link-external-16: PikaPods' documentation for specific details on setting this up. Our specific bucket information and access keys can be found in :simple-1password: 1Password. (In 1P parlance, Key ID=username, and Secret Key=credential)
