When you operate the backend on your servers
Use Infraveil for managed releases, local supervision, health, gateway policy and supported recovery across your own servers.
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.
Choose one release owner and a clear health/recovery boundary for each service. Avoid competing control loops.
Compare the workflow with your actual backend.
