Software & Digital Services
Infrastructure Tools, SaaS Products, and AI Automation by Drunken Gecko
Built in the dark, shipped when it's right.
Drunken Gecko builds self-hostable software, DevOps automation, cloud engineering tools, and AI-powered workflow applications for teams that keep systems running.
Infrastructure tools and digital services built with unreasonable care — small team, opinionated work, no filler.
SaaS Products
Self-hostable SaaS products that teams can run on their own infrastructure instead of handing data to another vendor — full ownership, no forced multi-tenant lock-in. Tapster and Switchyard are both self-hostable, multi-tenant products built for long-term operation.
AI & LLM Applications
Practical AI features that help a workflow without replacing human judgment — optional, self-hosted-friendly, and scoped to a real task. Tapster's optional "Moe" assistant suggests cocktails from what's actually on the shelf, powered by any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Cloud & Platform Engineering
Infrastructure tooling for teams running their own cloud and platform layer: reverse proxies, TLS and DNS automation, and network discovery. Switchyard manages multi-tenant Nginx/Traefik routing, while Shackleton maps network infrastructure via SNMP, SSH, and Docker scanning.
Automation & DevOps Tooling
Small, sharp command-line tools that remove a specific operational pain point. Lazarus reattaches to orphaned shells and scripts that lost their controlling terminal, restoring a full interactive session on Linux and macOS.
Drunken Gecko is a small software and digital services company. We build infrastructure tools and bespoke software for the teams that keep systems running — not for the teams that fill slide decks.
We started because the tools we wanted didn't exist. So we built them. The work takes longer than it should because we care about the details no one will notice — until the night something breaks and those details are the only thing standing between you and a bad morning.
Built with unreasonable care isn't a tagline. It's a constraint. Every feature earns its place. Every abstraction has a reason. Every default is a decision.
Three decades in infrastructure, operations, and platform engineering — the kind that involves late nights, undocumented systems, and learning what "production-ready" actually means the hard way. Drunken Gecko is the product of building too many things that didn't exist yet and deciding to do it properly this time.
We read everything. Response time is typically within a few business days — sooner if you catch us between deploys.
