Internal tools

Combine filters →

Internal tools are unglamorous and durable: an approvals form, a stock lookup, a script with a web page bolted on. They need almost no capacity and quite a lot of certainty about who can reach them, which is a different shopping list from a public site. Providers marketing this usually mean a cheap always-on instance, private networking, and no drama.
