Focus on content while we do the heavy lifting on technology. We partner with leading service providers to bring best-in-class publishing and infrastructure solutions at affordable costs
Quintype partnered with Cloudflare, one of the best CDN providers globally, to provide CDN for clients. With the Cloudfare enterprise plan, we ensure Level 3 and Level 7 protection against DDoS attacks. Quintype safeguards your digital presence, regardless of the scale or frequency of attacks. Web Application Firewall with WAF rules for the threats that apply to many customers is maintained and applied automatically.
We employ Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to provision a logically isolated section of the AWS cloud to launch Quintype resources in a virtual network.
We have complete control over the virtual networking environment, including the selection of our IP address range, creation of subnets, and configuration of route tables and network gateways.
We offer completely private-controlled access using subnets. Subnets host sensitive applications and databases, keeping them invisible and inaccessible to hackers and bots.
A public-facing subnet is used to host web traffic load-balancer to secure all the application services and data from any form of resource hacking.
Quintype ensures strong internal firewalling - using security groups. Application security groups control access to applications granularly within public and private subnets.
Granular access control is achieved through security groups. Quintype has set up load balancers, web servers, microservices, and database security groups to offer service and data security.
Data transmitted from web browsers or mobile applications is encrypted using the latest HTTPS/SSL TLS 1.2 standard, featuring up-to-date security algorithms. This protocol is the industry benchmark for safeguarding data privacy and confidentiality online.
Client applications send data directly to Quintype servers in the data center via an encrypted channel. This method ensures the utmost security of the data during transmission."
AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) provides end-to-end encryption and protection against web attacks and DoS (Denial Of Service) attacks.
All browser and mobile app traffic are automatically secured using the latest HTTP TLS1.2. Hence, we ensure the automatic detection of attacks.
“Trusted Advisor” is an AWS built-in feature that detects and advises incorrectly configured resources. It also highlights the risk of exposure based on existing compliance processes like HIPAA or PCI.
For secure administrative access, we establish a VPN tunnel tailored for operational needs, fortified with multi-factor authentication combining secure keys and passwords.
Quintype's virtual private cloud access is exclusively reserved for authorized office IP addresses, enhancing security and control.
Quintype's deployment maximizes the use of multiple availability zones for enhanced resilience against failures, from natural disasters to system outages.
We ensures critical data and applications are always available, with the flexibility to scale up in availabile zones if needed. To guarantee reliability, Quintype performs disaster recovery testing biannually.
Quintype offers daily incremental backups of stories in XML format, uploaded to our S3 bucket. Publishers can directly download these files from the S3 bucket or use a sync script for automatic transfer to another location.
Images are also added in a separate S3 bucket folder, available for direct download or syncing to a preferred location.
Secure Your Data Against the Unexpected: Despite rigorous safeguards, unforeseen events can occur. Our robust data backup policy, enhanced by RDS's point-in-time restore capabilities, ensures quick revert to the nearest safe state, preserving data integrity.
Elastic Search reindex is then retriggered for the affected time window.Moreover, our secure data backups and code repositories equip us to fully reconstruct the system in a given zone.
In the rare event of a total account compromise, data loss is capped at a maximum of 24 hours. Recovery initiates from our daily-backed DR AWS account.
Expect partial system restoration within 3 hours and full functionality restored within 12 hours, ensuring minimal downtime and data integrity.
Quintype's technical infrastructure is designed to handle surges in pageviews, ensuring your content remains accessible during viral peaks. Our system begins with Cloudflare's Content Delivery Network (CDN), where initial user requests are quickly processed.
These requests are efficiently distributed by our HAProxy Load Balancer Group to ensure balanced system load.
Requests are directed to our Kubernetes-hosted front-end application, optimized for scalability and resource management. The front-end application initiates API requests directed to our internal Varnish server, a key component for content caching and acceleration.
API requests are further forwarded to our dedicated API server, which efficiently manages data and services. Integral to our performance strategy is caching in Redis, which facilitates the rapid retrieval of popular data, culminating in database integration that delivers fresh, up-to-the-minute content.
We focus on increasing scalability for seamless performance. With Kubernetes facilitates automatic scaling of the front-end application for responsiveness during varying loads.
HAProxy Load Balancer Group efficiently distributes requests to ensure resource optimization.
Utilizing Varnish and Redis for caching ensures quick response times, reducing the load on underlying systems.
At Quintype, our development process is rooted in agile delivery practices, ensuring the creation of reliable products for our customers.
By involving the customer throughout the development journey and incorporating continuous feedback, we eliminate surprises at launch.
Our use of Agile methodologies, like iterative development and continuous deployment, means customers engage with the application during its build, not just at the user acceptance testing (UAT) phase
