My Hybrid Cloud Architecture

Balancing performance and data sovereignty by splitting workloads between Cloud VPS and On-Premise Servers.

Fig 1. Traffic flows through Cloudflare, splitting between Cloud VPS (Public Assets) and On-Premise Tunnel (Secure Data), bypassing local firewall ports.

The Strategy

This hybrid approach ensures high availability for public-facing assets (Website, LMS) via DigitalOcean, while keeping sensitive financial data (ERP) and compute-heavy AI tasks on-premise to reduce cloud costs. Cloudflare Tunnels bridge the gap securely without opening firewall ports.

Self-Healing Deployment

I implemented a custom GitHub Action that triggers on every push to `main`. The runner automatically:

  • Updates source code securely.
  • Installs PHP dependencies (Composer) and Node modules.
  • Fixes file permission issues (chown/chmod).
  • Rebuilds and restarts only the affected Docker containers.
