      <p>We’ve been busy: Docker orchestration with Dockerode, experiments with Traefik for TCP/UDP, Cloudflare SRV records, and a clean Fastify API. This post covers the decisions we made and why.</p>

      <h2>Key milestones</h2>
      <ul>
        <li>Stripe subscriptions + webhooks (checkout, trial, proration choices)</li>
        <li>Fastify + Dockerode container manager with per-server volumes</li>
        <li>Traefik vs direct SRV—what we shipped and why</li>
      </ul>

      <h2>The stack</h2>
      <ul>
        <li><strong>API:</strong> Fastify (TypeScript), productized endpoints for start/stop/stats/logs</li>
        <li><strong>Containers:</strong> <code>itzg/minecraft-server</code> (Java), <code>itzg/minecraft-bedrock-server</code> (Bedrock)</li>
        <li><strong>Provisioning:</strong> Dockerode createContainer + PortBindings + bind-mounted <code>/data</code></li>
        <li><strong>DNS:</strong> Cloudflare API for A + SRV per server (no wildcard proxies)</li>
        <li><strong>Payments:</strong> Stripe Checkout + webhooks (invoice.paid, subscription.updated)</li>
      </ul>

      <p>Next up: autoscaling policies, richer metrics, and more locations.</p>
