Infrastructure
The Dash runs on DigitalOcean infrastructure deployed inside a private Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), which keeps all platform traffic on an isolated internal network rather than the public internet. Compute, storage, and database resources are provisioned within this VPC using infrastructure-as-code, so every environment is reproducible, version-controlled, and auditable.
