Introduction

Lunary Cloud runs open-source business applications (CRMs, automation platforms, document tools) as managed services. You pick the application; we provision it, keep it updated, back up its database and data volumes, monitor it, and respond when something breaks.

What "managed" means here

Every service you run with us is:

• Its own instance on Canadian infrastructure. Your data stays in Canada.
• Observed, not assumed. An agent on the VM reports health to our control plane. The dashboard and the API show the same state our operators see.
• Operable by you. Backups, syncs, and restarts are actions in the dashboard and calls in the API, not support tickets.
• Portable. Your data lives in standard open-source applications. Backups download in standard formats (a database dump, a tar of each data volume), and migration help is part of the service.
