Simplify SSL
Fetch SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt for free
Lifeboat automates the retrieval, installation, and renewal of SSL certificates. With no cost for the developer, certificates are issued by the Let's Encrypt project. Lifeboat schedules regular renewals of all certificates on the server.
Take the headaches out of securing your web app, Lifeboat makes it a simple popup menu.
Balance the Load
Configure nginx and load balancing with ease
Manage multiple web apps using nginx to connect web addresses to Xojo Web apps running on your server. Set up load balancing by increasing the running instances of your web app. Lifeboat handles the configuration files, port assignments, and system services.
Let Lifeboat oversee your server and take a load off ;-)
Updates Made Easy
Smart upload system keeps downtime at a minimum
Lifeboat is equipped with an efficient upload system that identifies files that have not changed. Framework libraries that have not changed are duplicated on the server instead of being re-uploaded. Once uploaded, the smart staging system is able to Stop 'n' Swop the web app for just seconds of downtime.
