RDB Solutions Ltd Context

RDB Solutions Ltd is developing internal and customer-facing software systems with a strong preference for self-hosted infrastructure, local control, and practical automation.

The company favours owning its development stack rather than depending heavily on third-party SaaS platforms where avoidable.

Goals

The main goals are:

• Improve development efficiency
• Use local and self-hosted tools where practical
• Automate repetitive development and deployment tasks
• Support LLM-assisted development
• Maintain control over source code, infrastructure, and data
• Build systems that are maintainable by a small team or solo developer

Preferred Approach

RDB Solutions Ltd prefers:

• Self-hosted Git using Gitea
• Jenkins for CI/CD
• Docker-based deployments
• Proxmox for virtualisation
• Local LLMs where possible
• Clear task files and backlog-driven agent work
• Incremental changes over large risky rewrites
• Documentation that allows AI tools to understand the system quickly

General Constraints

• Avoid assuming GitHub is used.
• Prefer Gitea-compatible workflows.
• Prefer local or self-hosted services where practical.
• Avoid vendor lock-in unless there is a clear benefit.
• Keep systems understandable and maintainable.
• Prefer simple architecture before complex orchestration.
