The metal under the magic

The same infrastructure Fortune 500s use. We just make it easy.

Warp-grade managed hosting built on Google Cloud, delivered through Cloudflare's edge. Here's the spec sheet — no marketing fluff.

What we mean by "warp-grade"

A typical shared host runs your site on a CPU shared with 200+ other customers, on a consumer SSD, over the public internet. The result: a site that's slow when your neighbor gets traffic, that locks up under database load, and that takes 1-2 seconds to load from across the world.

Warp-grade is the opposite. Dedicated compute on the latest Google C4D machine type (5th-gen AMD EPYC, Zen 5 / Turin). Enterprise NVMe storage with 5,000 IOPS and 500 MB/s. Google Cloud Premium Tier fiber between your server and Cloudflare's edge. Cloudflare's 300+ POPs delivering from the closest location. Redis and Memcached in front of the database. The result: sub-100ms TTFB, sub-second page loads, 99.99% uptime. Same infrastructure Fortune 500s use, made easy.

◆

Compute

Google Cloud C4 / C4D machine type, running 5th-generation AMD EPYC processors built on the Zen 5 / Turin architecture. Custom Google integration, top-bin silicon, dedicated (no noisy neighbors).

Processor
5th-gen AMD EPYC (Zen 5 / Turin)
Architecture
Google C4 / C4D machine type
Clock speed
Up to 4.4 GHz boost
vCPUs
2 to 32 vCPUs per instance, dedicated
Memory
DDR5, up to 32 GB per instance
Why it matters
The C4D machine type is Google's latest compute-optimized family. Zen 5 / Turin delivers 30-40% better performance-per-dollar than the previous N2 / N1 families, and better single-thread performance than the older EPYC Rome. Pages render faster, queries return sooner, your app feels snappy. Top-bin silicon means consistent performance — no slow chips in your instance.
◆

Storage

Hyperdisk Balanced, Google's NVMe-backed enterprise SSD. Configurable per-disk IOPS and throughput. We provision 5,000 IOPS / 500 MB/s sustained for our typical instance sizes — fast enough for the vast majority of workloads, with room to grow.

Type
Hyperdisk Balanced (NVMe-backed SSD)
IOPS
5,000 baseline per instance
Throughput
500 MB/s sustained read/write
Latency
Sub-millisecond for cached reads
Encryption
AES-256 at rest, always on
Snapshots
7 daily backups, immutable storage
Why it matters
A typical consumer SSD does ~1,000 IOPS. We give you 5x that, with consistent sub-millisecond latency. For context: a slow disk makes your database queries (Odoo accounting, WordPress cart, PrestaShop product filters, Nextcloud sync) take seconds instead of milliseconds. With Hyperdisk Balanced, your store doesn't lock up during a sale. Your Ghost site stays fast when 10,000 readers open the same post at once. 500 MB/s sustained means even a 1 GB database backup restores in under 3 seconds.
◆

Caching

Two layers of caching, working together. Server-side caching with Redis and Memcached for sub-millisecond hot data. Edge caching with Cloudflare for global distribution. The combination is what makes pages load in under 1 second.

Server-side (Redis/Memcached)
In-memory key-value store
Server-side latency
0.1 to 0.5 ms per read
Server-side use cases
Page caches, query caches, session storage, hot data
Edge (Cloudflare CDN)
300+ POPs in 100+ countries
Edge cache hit ratio
70-90% for content sites, 100% for static assets
Edge cache TTL
Configurable per resource type
Why it matters
A WordPress site with Redis page cache is 10-100x faster than one without — typically 200ms page generation becomes 5-20ms. A Ghost site with edge caching serves 95% of requests without ever hitting the origin. Combined: sub-second page loads even for first-time visitors from anywhere in the world, and 70-90% off your origin compute bill because most traffic never reaches your server.
◆

Network

Google Cloud Premium Tier means your data stays on Google's private global fiber backbone, not the public internet. Cloudflare adds 300+ edge POPs on top. Two networks, one fast path.

Tier
Google Cloud Premium Tier (private global fiber)
Undersea cables
Google operates 25+ of its own
Google POPs
200+ cities worldwide
Cloudflare edge POPs
300+ in 100+ countries
Argo Smart Routing
Real-time routing around congestion, ~20-30% faster paths
Anycast DNS
Your domain resolves from the closest of 300+ locations
DDoS protection
Cloudflare unmetered DDoS, blocks 100B+ threats per day
Why it matters
Traffic between your server and Cloudflare's edge stays on Google's private backbone — not the public internet. That means lower latency (typically 30-50% lower than standard tier), higher reliability, no packet loss from internet congestion. Sub-100ms TTFB from anywhere in the world. Argo Smart Routing adds another 20-30% by avoiding congestion in real-time. And because Google operates 25+ undersea cables of its own, you don't depend on third-party transit.

Security

Enterprise-grade security, included by default. No upsell, no add-on tiers, no surprise bills. Every Leapjuice site gets this.

DDoS
Cloudflare unmetered DDoS protection (no extra cost)
WAF
Web Application Firewall with managed rulesets
SSL / TLS
Free, auto-renewing, TLS 1.3, Cloudflare for SaaS
Tenant isolation
Dedicated compute, dedicated storage, dedicated network namespace per customer. No noisy neighbors.
Backups
7 daily backups, 1-click restore, immutable storage
Encryption
AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit
2FA + audit logs
Optional per-user 2FA, full audit trail
Why it matters
You don't have to think about security. We do. Every Leapjuice site comes with enterprise-grade protection by default, with no upsells. The WAF blocks the OWASP top 10 out of the box. Cloudflare absorbs DDoS attacks that would take a self-hosted site offline. The tenant isolation means a spike on your neighbor's site doesn't slow yours down.
◆

AI infrastructure

Optional GPU for self-hosted LLMs. Open WebUI, Mistral, Llama, any OpenAI-compatible model. Private AI at the speed of the cloud.

GPU (Premium)
NVIDIA T4 — 16 GB VRAM
GPU (Enterprise)
NVIDIA L4 — 24 GB VRAM
Model support
Open WebUI, Ollama, LM Studio, any OpenAI-compatible API
Inference
Local on the GPU, no data leaves your instance
Why it matters
Run Mistral, Llama 3, or any OpenAI-compatible model on the same infrastructure as the rest of your stack. Private AI, no per-token billing, no data sent to OpenAI. Your AI, on your own infrastructure, with private inference. Pair with Daisy or n8n to build AI workflows that stay on your data.

Why Google Cloud and Cloudflare together

The two most-asked questions from customers who want to understand the architecture.

Why use Google Cloud AND Cloudflare, not just one?

They do different things. Google Cloud is the compute and storage layer (where your app actually runs). Cloudflare is the edge layer (where your content gets cached and delivered to users). Using both means your data sits on Google's private fiber backbone between the server and Cloudflare's edge — and from there, it's served from the closest of 300+ POPs to each user. Either alone leaves 30-50% of the performance on the table.

How many POPs does Leapjuice have access to in total?

Google's backbone reaches 200+ cities with its own fiber and 25+ undersea cables. Cloudflare adds 300+ edge POPs in 100+ countries. Combined, your content is delivered from whichever of 500+ locations is closest to the requester.

What is Argo Smart Routing, and is it really 20-30% faster?

Argo is Cloudflare's real-time routing layer. It monitors congestion and outages across the public internet and routes around them. In Cloudflare's published benchmarks, Argo reduces TTFB by about 20-30% on average for traffic that would otherwise hit congested paths. We enable it by default on every Leapjuice site.

Is Cloudflare for SaaS really free for custom domains?

Cloudflare for SaaS is a paid Cloudflare product, but we include it on every Leapjuice plan at no extra charge. That means your custom domain (e.g. yourname.com) gets free SSL, free CDN, free WAF, free DDoS protection, and 1-click setup — no DNS work for you. Point your CNAME at daisy.leapjuice.com and you're live.

What's the difference between edge caching and server-side caching?

Server-side caching (Redis/Memcached) lives on the same machine as your app. Sub-millisecond reads for hot data. Edge caching (Cloudflare CDN) lives at 300+ POPs around the world. Sub-50ms reads for the same content, but at the closest location to each user. Together: server-side caching reduces load on your app, edge caching reduces load on the network. The result is sub-second page loads from anywhere.
