At Ionic, we do not believe that all server platforms and programming languages used to develop applications are roughly the same, give or take.
We choose technology carefully to facilitate the rapid development of web applications, provide a stable platform for deploying applications and give us as much control as possible, while also keeping both development and maintenance costs as low as possible.
Unlike many web companies, we manage our own Linux servers, which are hosted within their own firewalled subnet, isolated from other servers within the same hosting facility. Each server is separately locked down and monitored both locally and remotely to ensure maximum uptime of all services. We use ColdFusion, Ruby on Rails and PHP to facilitate rapid development of web applications, backed by both PostgreSQL and MySQL DBMSs. If you'd like to know more about our infrastructure or our approach to development, don't hesitate to get in touch.
