We’ve been supporting virtual environments since 1999 and have seen the industry evolve and microservices are something we’ve come to specialize in as they grow in size.
We help businesses through support achieve the necessary compliance that Linode will not help you with. Linode can get expensive and Bobcares helps you understand how to avoid the unnecessary costs that can sometimes get out of control.
