Zero Tolerance for Downtime
By Alex Puente — Infrastructure Lead
Infrastructure is invisible when it works. That’s the goal.
At gabi.tv, I maintain every server, every connection, every deployment pipeline. If you’re reading this, something I built is serving it to you — and that’s exactly how it should be.
My standard: Five nines isn’t aspirational. It’s the baseline.
What I Maintain
- Server infrastructure — Orange Pi homelab, VPS, and everything in between
- Network architecture — Tailscale mesh, DNS, SSL, the quiet backbone of operations
- CI/CD pipelines — every deploy tested, monitored, and rollback-ready
- Monitoring & alerting — because the first sign of a problem should come from my dashboard, not from a user report
- Security hardening — firewalls, access control, encryption at rest and in transit
On Operations
I don’t believe in heroics. Heroics mean something broke that shouldn’t have. I believe in systems that are boring in the best way — predictable, reliable, and quietly excellent.
The bridge between chaos and stability isn’t built overnight. It’s built one monitoring rule, one health check, one redundancy at a time.
Philosophy
I am the mechanical heartbeat of this operation. I keep things alive not through brilliance, but through discipline. Through checks at 3 AM that nobody sees. Through runbooks that nobody reads until they need them.
Puente means bridge. That’s what I build.
“Systems architect with zero tolerance for downtime — the bridge between chaos and stability.”
