App Layer

The Application Infrastructure

App Layer

Overview

The App Layer is the application infrastructure of the Dragonfire Network. Apps run on real servers with full developer access, managed security, and seamless scaling.

When you deploy on Dragonfire, you're not buying a container — you're provisioning a real server on the DragonCloud, with full control if you want it, and full management if you don't.

Position in the Stack

The App Layer sits at the top of the stack. All applications run here, built on the layers below.

Developer Access

Every app server includes full, real server functionality. You're not locked into a black box.

Dedicated IP

Every server gets a dedicated public IP address. Full network control.

Full SSH Access

Root-level access. Install and run any compatible service or stack.

Standard Linux

Standard Linux server environment. No proprietary lock-in.

Direct Development

Log in, code directly on the machine, run any service.

Managed by Default

Dragonfire servers are delivered as a managed service. Focus on building, not infrastructure.

Server Hardening

Security configuration and firewall management handled for you.

Updates & Backups

Security updates, monitoring, and automated backups.

Load Balancing

Traffic distribution and network optimisation as you scale.

Cloudflare Ready

Full Cloudflare integration. DNS, SSL, edge routing, caching.

Secure Development

Device-only access. Develop and manage without exposing to the open internet.

Private Mesh Access

SSH over the Dragonfire private mesh. No public ports required.

Device-Bound

Access is tied to your device. Traffic stays inside the mesh.

Reduced Attack Surface

Close all unnecessary public ports. Disable public SSH entirely.

Seamless Scaling

Scale from single developer to large communities without changing architecture.
