When you operate the backend on your servers
Use Infraveil when you already control the servers and want one dashboard for managed releases, service health, operational context, approval rules, and recovery controls.
Sometimes—with a clear owner for each service.
A common split is a frontend on Vercel and backend services on servers managed through Infraveil. They should not both own the same backend release.
Before combining products, decide which system owns each release and which system is the source of truth for health and recovery. Avoid two control loops trying to manage the same service.
Compare the workflow with your actual backend.
